Imagine such fast access to all of your data - even field-fresh information less than a minute old - that when you ask a question, you get an informed answer in milliseconds! Not minutes, hours or days like you\u2019d get from spreadsheets on different computers. Milliseconds. Essentially \u201creal-time\u201d. Now think of the powerful intelligence this would give you in response to \u201cI want it now\u201d customers and do-or-die business decisions. You'd have immediate and deeper insights about sales, customers and pipeline from any source. Guess what?

And if they\u2019re your competitors, watch out because they\u2019re winning, even in this tough economy.
