We’ve reduced the time to update pipeline data, and are now supporting more than 4x the joint opportunities without any headcount increases”..

• “The ability to streamline our program while enabling it to scale. My team saw benefits through a fund management process that is digitized on the platform, allowing us and our partners to work collaboratively to reduce the time and effort needed to approve and claim MDF campaigns. We've been able to reduce costs which allowed us to put that back into driving engagement for Red Hat and Intel”
  

• “The ability to work on opportunities, jointly with our software partners. While SAP has their own CRM system, and our partners have their own CRM systems, Workspan allows SAP (And our partners ) to expand and grow the pipeline - joint pipeline. This avoids any channel conflict and increases the collaboration. When the joint opportunity progresses to the point where it is a real opportunity for both SAP and our partner.. we have the synchronization into our CRM systems to insure proper tracking for the partner organization, the partner, and the sales organization”
