Concursive Provides Free CRM Solution for Millions of Small and Medium Businesses

ConcourseSuite 5.0 Is Now Available at No Cost for One Year for up to 100 Users per Business

NORFOLK, VA–(EMWNews – August 18, 2008) – Concursive Corporation, a leading developer of

open source Customer Relationship Management (CRM), content management and

business social networking technologies, is providing its on-demand

ConcourseSuite 5.0 customer relationship management (CRM) software free of

charge for up to 100 users for a period of one year.

This groundbreaking offer arms businesses with a full-featured Front Office

Solution available to a meaningful number of users. Unlike traditional

trial offers that are limited to short time periods or a small number of

users, businesses can immediately begin to utilize ConcourseSuite 5.0 to

better organize and optimize their day-to-day operations. With a high

100-user limit, this offer provides free business tools sufficient for

every employee in nine out of ten businesses in the U.S.

“ConcourseSuite 5.0 lets us manage the entire sales cycle — from lead

capture and contact management to pipeline tracking and quoting,” said Dave

Cook, Director at Amalgatek. “It’s easy-to-use, can be customized to fit

our business and allows us to both make the most of our leads and to grow

current customers.”

A Software as a Service (SaaS) on-demand offering, ConcourseSuite 5.0

requires no setup — business users simply subscribe and then log-in to

begin using the system. There’s nothing to install and no IT skills are

required. The software is user-friendly and designed such that business,

sales and marketing managers can customize the application and add

functionality as required to meet specific requirements or adjust to

changing needs.

Susan Milhoan, president of Retail Alliance, said, “Concursive’s move of

offering freely available enterprise-class software tools is a major boost

for smaller and medium businesses and it levels the playing field with

larger enterprises.”

ConcourseSuite combines customer relationship management (CRM), online

presence management, marketing, team collaboration and customer service

within a single easy-to-use platform. A full range of tools within the

suite allows small-to-medium sized businesses to track prospects and sales

activity, generate new leads, manage the sales process and service existing

customers.

“Opening up the availability of this intuitive tool that we have designed

for everyday business use is a natural extension of our business model,”

said Michael Harvey, EVP for Concursive. “At Concursive we understand the

processes required for businesses to get and grow their customer base, and

giving businesses with up to 100 users free access to ConcourseSuite allows

a broader range of companies to understand how technology can help to

streamline, organize, and drive prospect and customer activities — the

lifeblood of every business.”

After twelve months, businesses using ConcourseSuite 5.0 under this offer

will be given the opportunity to continue the service at low promotional

rates — on the order of half of the rates of competing on-demand CRM

offerings.

Starting in November of last year, businesses were already able to sign up

for a free 5-user account for ConcourseSuite 5.0. To date, nearly 1500

firms have started using ConcourseSuite 5.0 under that previous offer, and

Concursive predicts the response to the new 100-user offer will be even

greater.
