Prophet in Your Outlook

Avidian decided to better leverage the time in Outlook by turning the personal information manager into a full-fledged sales CRM application.
Prophet 4.0, the latest version, offers what the company calls advanced contact management features plus expanded search and platform capabilities.

Avidian built Prophet into Outlook, which gives sales people an application with one database that covers sales, contacts, tasks, e-mail and calendaring — in a format they already know how to use. 70% of CRM programs fail because people within an organization simply won’t use it.
