According to Forrester, the biggest pain point around legacy sales force automation has been its negative impact on productivity, primarily due to the amount of manual data entry required by end users. Oracle Sales Cloud, available via any device and integrated directly with key applications, eliminates these legacy challenges by enabling sales professionals to easily input and access all the information they need to engage customers earlier and accelerate and close deals using a complete, innovative and proven sales solution.

“Sales professionals across industries and business models are faced with the heightened needs of empowered buyers, who require responsive, engaging and intelligent customer experiences,” said Stephen Fioretti, vice president, CX Engagement Solutions at Oracle. “Integrating cutting edge technology such as AI, Oracle Sales Cloud helps sales professionals address these needs to elevate customer engagements and drive competitive differentiation. I believe that being positioned by Forrester as a leader in this space further demonstrates Oracle’s commitment to helping our customers achieve superior sales results.”

Of the 10 vendors Forrester evaluated for sales force automation, Oracle Sales Cloud was among three companies recognized as a leader across 35 criteria, which were grouped into three categories of current offering, strategy and market presence. Oracle was cited for the strength of its balance of solution breadth, horizontal innovation and industry specialization.
