InsideSales.com Launches New Solutions to Showcase Sales Acceleration Platform at First Annual IS Accelerate 2014 Customer Event

SILICON SLOPES, Utah, May 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- InsideSales.com, the leading cloud-based sales acceleration technology company, announced today at its first annual customer event, IS Accelerate 2014, a number of groundbreaking enhancements and extensions to the company's category-leading sales acceleration platform.

The company also announced it has closed on the acquisition of iHance, Inc., a software company that helps sales teams close deals faster through comprehensive, patented email tracking and synching technologies.

More than 300 top customers, business partners and industry analysts gathered at the Montage Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, for the three-day IS Accelerate 2014, the sales acceleration event of the year, where the company also plans to highlight stunning new developments in Neuralytics™ -- the breakthrough, self-learning predictive analytics engine that underlies its entire sales acceleration platform.

"It's fantastic to share our technology and vision with hundreds of our top customers gathered together to exchange ideas around our sales acceleration platform and product offerings," said Dave Elkington, InsideSales.com CEO and founder.
