NEW YORK – CLOUDFORCE NEW YORK – Nov. 30, 2011 – Apttus today announced it has launched its new mobile app on salesforce.com's AppExchange Mobile, extending the marketplace built for the social enterprise. Apttus (CPQ) Configure Price Quote on iPad is among the first apps to leverage AppExchange Mobile, tapping into the power of the proven Force.com platform, salesforce.com’s social enterprise platform for employee social apps. Apttus CPQ is currently available for test drive on the AppExchange Mobile.

Configure Price Quote (CPQ) capabilities are now available on iPad from Apttus. With instant access from the iPad, Apttus CPQ users can configure, price, and quote any product or service in front of customers -- on-site, in the field and on the move. The data is instantly pushed into Salesforce making it and your team 100 percent up to date.

Apttus iPad CPQ is 100 percent iPad native. Apttus CPQ allows Salesforce customers to significantly reduce the quote to cash cycle without ever leaving Salesforce − same user interface, same infrastructure, same instance. And because users are already leveraging Salesforce, there is no need to pay twice for application delivery. This functionally rich application allows users to manage any type of product, service or pricing model through any type of sales process, all while remaining connected and completely updated inside Salesforce.

  •  “In the era of the social enterprise, enterprise applications need to work on any device and with any social network and data. Apttus customers rely on the fact that Apttus applications are 100 percent iPad native and users never leave Salesforce -  keeping everyone connected and completely updated,” said Kirk Krappe, CEO of Apttus
  • “Customers continue to look to our partners as they transform themselves into social enterprises, and partners like Apttus are helping them with that shift,” said Ron Huddleston, senior vice president, ISV Alliances, salesforce.com. “Apps like these exemplify the extraordinary reach of the AppExchange marketplace and continue to push the social, mobile, open and trusted capabilities customers expect from the salesforce.com ecosystem.”
