Chicago, IL and Frankfurt, Germany - February 24, 2009 - BigMachines, Inc., the leading provider of on-demand configuration and proposal software, announced today that it was named among the "Best Apps of 2008" by customers on the Force.com AppExchange from salesforce.com. BigMachines's on-demand software earned this recognition by receiving the most 4 and 5 star customer reviews over the last year. BigMachines has the most joint customers of any configuration and proposal solution on the AppExchange. Joint customers include leading companies such as NTT America, Enterasys, Carestream Health, and Teradyne.
The Force.com AppExchange is a Web marketplace for cloud computing applications that integrate with salesforce.com.

BigMachines was ranked as the "Best Quoting Tool" with more positive customer reviews than over 150 other applications that offer quoting capabilities.
According to an AppExchange review submitted by Jessica Hoover, Certified Scrum Master at Rally Software, "Our company set forth to find a quote tool that could handle our complex pricing model, integrate with Salesforce.com CRM and could be handed off to an internal resource for continued maintenance. BigMachines responded quickly to my inquiry and they said they could do all of the things we were asking for... The results have been remarkable. We had sales team members working in the tool after 5 weeks of development and we continue to build the tool to meet our needs. Our user adoption is 100%. Our project team agrees that BigMachines has matched our enthusiasm and dedication and they have exceeded our expectations from the first meeting." Ms. Hoover added, "Our biggest measure of success is that our management team, our finance department and our sales team are happy with the tool."
