Visual Planning Application Launches For Salesforce.com

Mindjet's MindManager visual planning application will be available as part of Salesforce.com's on-demand CRM solution. MindManager lets users create an interactive visual representation of business processes and projects, which can be easily shared with colleagues.

Announced yesterday, MindManager for Salesforce.com will allow Salesforce.com users to visually map accounts and sales opportunities in a single interactive dashboard. Users will be able to collaborate on complex sales projects.

According to Mindjet Business Solutions vice president Chris Holmes, this enables users to more easily identify and respond to sales opportunities. "MindManager for Salesforce.com's use of information visualization coupled with Salesforce.com's on-demand platform provides an easy-to-deploy, visual CRM solution that transforms the sales management process," Holmes said in a statement.

Salesforce.com made the MindManager announcement as part of its summer 2004 release, which includes 100 new features. After a year in business, the on-demand solution provider has 10,700 customers and 161 subscribers worldwide, including Time Warner cable and AMD.
