SAN JOSE, Calif. and DUBLIN, June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

New Altify Summer '18 release coaches sales teams, provides GDPR compliant data, enhances Salesforce Quip collaboration  

Altify, the pioneer in digital sales transformation software for businesses worldwide, announces its Summer 2018 product release. The new version of Altify's flagship platform features the introduction of augmented intelligence into account planning, delivering best practice sales coaching directly into the application to help sales teams more effectively add value and find new potential opportunities. The Summer '18 release also provides increased data security with compliance to the data protection regulation, EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), enhanced team collaboration capabilities including the option to export account and opportunity plans to Quip, Salesforce's collaboration platform, and new growth services to accelerate product adoption.

Altify's augmented intelligence solution, Altify Max, provides account reps and sales teams with real-time advice on next steps to enhance and manage opportunities and account plans. For example, Max can suggest risks to deal advancement or closure, prompt sales reps to schedule account reviews, or suggest how to capture insights that will advance account strategies to build new pipeline and new opportunities in the account. Augmented intelligence from Altify guides, trains and supports salespeople, reducing the time it takes for new hires to be productive. Previously only available for opportunities, the addition of augmented intelligence to account plans gives sales teams actionable insights to upsell and cross sell, helping them uncover new opportunities in their existing accounts.

Comments on the news  

"Enterprise selling and account management require the sales team to have deep understanding of people and problems to navigate the account," says Anthony Reynolds, CEO of Altify. "Our Summer '18 release transforms enterprise selling by bringing augmented intelligence directly into the account plan, providing sales leaders and teams with the coaching and guidance they need to sell more effectively every day."

"The capability to provide our global sales teams with real-time coaching and guidance based on best practices from Altify directly into the account planning application will only serve to further enhance our sales effectiveness," notes Jane Freeman, VP Global Sales Excellence, SDL. "We are looking forward to deploying the Summer '18 release enhancements and to benefiting from the increased performance the release will provide us."

"Altify has been instrumental in providing our teams with the methodology and tools to not only meet the current expectations of clients, but to anticipate their future requirements to ensure mutual alignment and success," commented Kay Coffey, Vice President, Relationship Excellence at Brown Brothers Harriman. "The Summer '18 release continues to build on the foundational elements enshrined in our client service orientation and is part of BBH's dynamic roadmap for differentiation."
