Comments on the News

  • "Our partnership with RingLead has allowed us to bring our powerful technology into the Salesforce AppExchange," said Donato Diorio, CEO & co-founder of Broadlook Technologies. "Through RingLead, we've been working with some of the biggest companies in the world in private beta, and are excited to make our deep web data mining technology available on the world's fastest growing business apps marketplace."
  • Michael Farrington, Chief Product Officer at RingLead, commented that "working with Broadlook has been a great experience and integrating their knowledge of deep web data mining with RingLead's 10+ years of experience in developing applications on the Salesforce Platform is a match made in heaven."

The Data Challenge

There are two major data-related issues that can hinder the productivity and efficiency of sales, support and HR organizations today: data integrity and data availability. Incomplete data only provides a partial view of a contact or partner. This is a common occurrence in many CRM and support systems, which may focus on individual contacts but miss key influencers and decision-makers elsewhere within the organization. Lack of data availability -- not having the right data at the right time -- can slow or even impede the implementation of core business initiatives, an issue often compounded by individual users attempting to complete and validate information themselves on-the-fly.

Profiler addresses these two issues directly by providing advanced data completion and verification to ensure that the right data is available whenever it is needed.

Product Key Features

Profiler brings structure to the vast amounts of unstructured data that are available on company websites, blogs, social networks, SEC filings and more, allowing customers to quickly aggregate and organize company and contact information and store that information in Salesforce.

Gartner's Patrick Stakenas and Ed Thompson recently noted:* "A key theme in 2013 is using technology to move information closer to where a salesperson interacts with the customer and providing tools to collaborate with the sales team and sales management. These technologies enhance and improve the selling experience, presale, during the sell cycle and postsale, allowing for upselling and cross-selling." Profiler provides such functionality and is designed to provide an uplift in effectiveness of sales and support organizations.

  • Profiler aggregates publicly available company and contact data, through a single-click feature, from corporate websites, personal blogs, social networks, SEC filings and more.
  • Broadlook's proprietary linguistic pattern matching algorithms verify and score relevant contact information, identifying names, job titles, email addresses, physical addresses and other types of company and contact data.
  • The Salesforce Platform integration makes the data visible via an easily-installed Visualforce component, allowing users to quickly identify relevant company information as well as create new leads or contacts from the information provided by Profiler in Salesforce or other data destinations, platforms and applications.
  • Profiler's auto-profile feature enables Users to gather just-in-time contact data as records are created in Salesforce.
