Enterprise sales systems and processes tend to be overly complicated – ultimately wasting time or producing inaccurate results. This week we’d like to highlight another popular app in the Okta Application Network: BigMachines, a cloud-based SaaS provider that enables sales departments to increase their productivity and revenue through its global on-demand platform. BigMachines drives performance, dramatically improving SaaS ROI and time to market with respect to rapid rollouts.
BigMachines provides a variety of services such as product information, pricing and quoting, proposal generation, and B2B e-commerce. Workflow becomes automated, while access is streamlined with single sign-on and integration with Okta and the Salesforce Developer Center. Because its software is built in the cloud, BigMachines is completely scalable and designed to seamlessly grow with the company. Customers range from small business owners to Fortune 500 leaders.
Recently, BigMachines integrated leading CRM tools from Salesforce and Oracle to help automate the process of complex price quoting. Following this integration, BigMachines is now in collaboration with CRM, ERP and other business systems, which allows organizations to fully leverage prior IT investments and avoid duplicate data maintenance. As an opportunity-to-quote-to-order solution, BigMachines extends CRM systems by providing complimentary configuration, pricing and proposal capabilities and extends ERP systems by providing a single repository of customer and item master data.
BigMachines is a company that’s growing – and fast! With more than 50 percent revenue growth per year, BigMachines has been included on Inc. magazine’s annual 5000 list for 2011, docking in the top third. In addition, BigMachines was ranked number 42 in the list of Top Companies in the Chicago Metro area, and number 105 on the list of Top Software Companies in America.
