NehaNet Corp, an innovative provider of sales and marketing effectiveness solutions, was brought in to assist the development of the Solution Advisor application.
"Solution Advisor provides an online solution that automates several stages of the product evaluation process", said Ankur Sharma, president and CEO of NehaNet Corp.
"Customers and sales representatives are no longer forced to memorise all possible products and product combinations.
Instead, Solution Advisor quickly outlines the best options and data is drawn from a frequently updated database".
The tool guides users through every step of the evaluation process - from assessing application needs to identifying the best product or combination of products and services to meet those needs.
The end result is a recommended set of product(s) that represent the best solution for a particular application.
"Given the full breadth of our portfolio and the complexity of our devices, this virtual sales tool allows our customers and partners to accelerate the product evaluation process through rapid and accurate web-based component selection", said Doug Brownridge, vice president of corporate marketing for PMC-Sierra.
"Essentially, you type in your requirements and the Solution Advisor comes up with an optimised configuration, including block diagrams.
This process could take less than an hour, saving design engineers several days of technical meetings".
