Territory management is an essential part of any field sales management job. However, even best-selling CRM systems overlook this important tool, or the feature is “not enabled by default” or “optional” (i.e. more expensive).

Cloud for Retail Execution: Make Away with Data Storage Costs

By Anonymous
Why Go Paperless? In order to store 2 million paper documents, an organization can expect to spend between $40,000 and $60,000 on filing cabinets alone.
