Chicago, IL - June 27, 2008 - BigMachines, Inc., the global leader in on-demand sales configuration and proposal software, announced today that the company has been selected as one of AMR Research's Cool Technologies to Consider for 2008 as noted in the AMR Research Article dated June 9, 2008 titled Industrial Value Chains: Cool Technologies to Consider. AMR Research provides subscription analysis services to executives in the consumer products, life sciences, manufacturing and retail sectors. AMR Research analysts Jane Barrett, Simon Jacobson, and Michael Burkett recommended the technologies as "necessary tools to support today's virtual workplace, open innovation ecosystem and multitier value chain."
"BigMachines is honored to be selected as one of the Cool Technologies to Consider for 2008 by AMR Research," said Godard Abel, CEO of BigMachines. "We provide solutions that enable our customers to empower their sales teams, helping them sell more, sell faster, and with more accuracy.
