To provide sales teams with the modern processes, tools, resources and intelligence required to increase revenue, Oracle recently announced significant updates to Oracle Sales Cloud.
Part of Oracle Applications Cloud Release 10, the latest release of Oracle Sales Cloud helps organizations increase sales and drive efficiencies through a simplified user experience that delivers enhanced analytics, partner relationship management and industry-specific solutions.
The way customers interact with an organization’s sales department is rapidly changing. A recent study by CEB found that 57 percent of the purchasing process is over before customers even talk to an organization’s sales team. In this new business environment, organizations need to empower their sales teams with fast, easy and modern sales tools that support mobile productivity, insightful and collaborative selling, and aggressive pipeline creation.
With the latest release of Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle helps sales teams increase business agility through enhanced decision-making and collaboration. A modern, interactive dashboard includes new pre-built reports and improved visualizations that provide sales teams with insights and analysis in real time.
In addition, sales professionals can take advantage of the new Mobile App Designer tool to create intuitive reports and dashboards using drag-and-drop functionality, specifically designed for smartphones and tablets.
To further enhance the sales process, Oracle Sales Cloud now enables partners and sales teams to communicate securely in the Oracle Social Network. Robust reporting capabilities have also been added to Oracle Sales Cloud partner relationship-management capabilities to enable improved real-time analysis.
To drive efficiencies and lower costs, Oracle Sales Cloud now offers even deeper industry capabilities with new purpose-built functionalities for high technology and manufacturing, financial services, consumer goods, and communications. With industry-specific functionality, sales teams can save time by taking advantage of deep domain knowledge and purpose-built applications that are designed to meet their unique sales needs.
“Organizations need to empower their sales teams with fast, easy and modern sales tools in order to compete successfully in today’s global marketplace and meet skyrocketing customer demands,” said Aaron Shidler, vice president for product strategy at Oracle.
“Oracle is committed to helping organizations rethink the sales process by providing sales professionals with a modern cloud solution that fits the specific needs of their business. With the latest updates in the Oracle Sales Cloud, Oracle is helping sales teams quickly and easily take advantage of the latest technologies to sell more, know more and grow more,” he added.
