Softline, leading provider of accounting, payroll and CRM software solutions to small, medium and large companies, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation named Softline ACCPAC CRM and Softline Enterprise's CRM SalesLogix as 2005 Product of the Year Award recipients.
TMC editors recently issued the results of their thorough product examinations and cited Accpac CRM for new end-user dashboard capabilities and Softline Enterprise's CRM SalesLogix for database administration and Web server scalability enhancements.
"Through its parent company Sage PLC, Softline is honoured to receive these awards and the recognition that our products drive significant business value for our customers," noted Ivan Epstein, CEO, Softline. "We have built our product strategy on customer feedback that indicates one size does not fill all for CRM solutions. Having both these products in the Softline portfolio receive Product of the Year designations from TMC is excellent validation of our strategy."
"Each year Communications Solutions magazine bestows Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements. Sage PLC, represented locally by Sofltine, has demonstrated to the editors of Communications Solutions that its products have gone the extra mile to help improve both the customer experience and the ROI for the companies that use them," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of Communications Solutions.
