Apttus' Innovation Continues to Propel the Cloud-based Quote-to-Cash Industry Forward

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Apttus, the category-defining Quote-to-Cash solution provider, today announced its Leader designation within The Forrester Wave: B2B Order Management for Q4 2015. Order Management (OM) is a critical component of Apttus' end-to-end Quote-to-Cash cloud offerings: the report specifically notes that "Apttus delivers the most agile B2B OM solution. Apttus has added flexible order orchestration to its strong customer life-cycle management and CPQ foundation, all running on the Salesforce platform." Since 2006, synchronized Configure Price Quote, Contract Management, and Revenue Management solutions have allowed Apttus customers of all sizes to navigate the entire revenue operation in a single integrated platform.

Although Apttus considers this acknowledgment from Forrester a validation of its status as an industry trendsetter, its strongest testimonials come from customers such as Healthwise. Healthwise details its selection, implementation and results of Apttus Quote-to-Cash, including Order Management solutions, in this video and detailed in print on the Apttus site.

"Apttus gives us the innate ability to link the entire Quote-to-Cash process together in one system," stated Darra Wray, Senior Vice President – Finance, of Healthwise Incorporated, "We will be able to scale our operation and leverage the benefits of this great toolset at the same relative cost of our manual processes that were not scalable. The benefits of dealing with only one software set and vendor are innumerable. This solution will optimize our end to end sales support process and will allow us to keep the focus on the most important part of our business – our clients."
