CloudShare Virtual Sales Engagement Platform Now Available on the Salesforce.com AppExchange

(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PALO ALTO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/07/09 -- CloudShare, formerly IT Structures, today announced the availability of its Virtual Sales Engagement platform on salesforce.com's AppExchange.

Leveraging the Force.com platform, CloudShare is immediately available for test drive and deployment on the AppExchange at http://CloudShare.com/sfplugin With CloudShare, users can distribute proofs of concept (PoCs) as easily as sending an email from within Salesforce CRM, meaning they do not need to rely on airlines or FedEx to present full server and demo environments to prospective customers. The greatest value lies in the technology's ability to streamline the sales cycle and bridge the gap between a great sales call and actually getting the product into the hands of the customer.

Driven by the demand for virtual sales collaboration and virtual demos, the CloudShare platform is designed to help software and appliance companies accelerate sales, gain deeper insight into the channel and save money. It does this by providing a service that facilitates virtual demos and remote PoCs for software companies, allowing sales engineers to conduct product demos and serve more customers with more products per rep, while investing in fewer assets.

"Companies continue to explore how to move more business operations like presenting proofs of concept to the cloud," said Kendall Collins, chief marketing officer, salesforce.com. "The addition of CloudShare to the AppExchange gives salesforce.com customers the ability to simplify how they present proofs of concept with a few clicks." "CloudShare is known for the competitive advantage we provide to sales people. With trimmed budgets and the rise in popularity of cloud computing applications, we've seen a growing need for technology that can shorten and streamline processes while providing customers with a 'true' user experience. Given the cloud-based nature of our system and our shared users, providing a plug-in to Salesforce CRM seems like a natural extension of our product," said Zvi Guterman, CEO, CloudShare.

CloudShare's patent-pending approach goes beyond basic Webinar or virtual lab offerings by allowing customers to instantly create production-grade replicas of their existing IT which are delivered in the cloud. The ability to replicate and share entire, complex and fully-featured enterprise environments in the cloud has attracted customers like SAP, Cisco, VMware and Websense, that use CloudShare to support their virtual demo, PoC, and training needs for direct and channel sales.
