COREX TECHNOLOGIES DEBUTS CARDSCAN PRO FOR BEST SOFTWARE SALESLOGIX APPLICATION

First Business Card Scanner for CRM market

Orlando, FL - June 11, 2004: Corex Technologies of Cambridge, MA, today unveiled CardScan® Pro for SalesLogix, the first business card scanner on the market that integrates with a customer relationship management (CRM) system.

CardScan Pro for SalesLogix allows a user to quickly transform paper-based business card information into the digital format of a SalesLogix user’s database. By quickly adding business card information and incorporating all of the data provided on a business card, a SalesLogix user can then easily track and manage more leads, explore additional sales opportunities and initiate other activities in a matter of minutes.

The award-winning SalesLogix from Best Software is a CRM suite designed specifically for small and medium-sized business. SalesLogix delivers integrated Sales, Marketing and Customer Support automation solutions with low cost of ownership, rapid time to productivity and high return on investment.

“Despite automating many processes, it’s still difficult to get a fast-moving sales representative to spend time entering the wealth of information contained on a person’s business card,” said Peter J. Weyman, President of Corex Technologies. “CardScan Pro for SalesLogix eliminates the drudgery and sets up an easy-to-use and consistent process for capturing every business card and every data field. With all new prospects and potential leads added quickly and efficiently, users immediately expand the reach of their business opportunities and show the full strength of the SalesLogix solution. We’re pleased that Best Software has chosen to partner with us in overcoming this issue as incomplete or inaccurate contact information reduces the effectiveness of a solid CRM system,” he concluded.

CardScan Pro for SalesLogix will be available in July with pricing of $599 (US) for a bundle of two scanners and a five-seat license. The product is available through SalesLogix authorized resellers.

Corex made the announcement at the Best Software Insights 2004 business partner conference, which has drawn nearly 3,000 business partner attendees to Orlando for the four-day event.

CardScan is the world’s number one business card scanner. It allows a user to scan business card information accurately and quickly into a database where it can be synchronized with SalesLogix. Its small size and light weight makes it a perfect companion to a traveling sales representative for use after daily meetings, trade shows or conferences. Depending on a sales representative’s style, he/she can work either in CardScan or SalesLogix and be assured that critical contact information remains in sync.

By bypassing the manual typing process CardScan Pro for SalesLogix also ensures that only accurate information such as a person’s name, phone number, email or address is entered into the CRM system.

“I have been in sales and business development for over ten years. I am using CardScan and it’s incredible. I am tough on my electronic products and seldom rate them above a five or six. [CardScan] is the first product that I have ever used that does everything it says it does and more - 10+. This is a great product,” says Bel Haddad, Sales Manager at IC Creative Home.

According to research conducted by Corex, office workers each spend, on average, 23 hours and 12 minutes – or nearly three full working days every year typing contact information into address books or PDAs.
