BroadSoft Goes Live With Firepond CPQ(R) OnDemand Implementation Features Include Workflow, Multi-Level (Nested) Products, and Proposals MANKATO, MN, Oct 09, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Firepond, Inc. (OTCBB: FPND) has announced that BroadSoft, Inc., the leading provider of VoIP application software, is now fully implemented on the Firepond CPQ OnDemand application. BroadSoft has integrated Firepond CPQ OnDemand with salesforce.com's application (Salesforce). "The BroadSoft implementation leverages many standard features of the Firepond CPQ OnDemand application including rule-driven workflow, proposal generation, tiered discounting, and data export," said Firepond's president Bradlee Sheafe. "The implementation also uses advanced features such as data-driven functions to accomplish specialized tasks." He added, "BroadSoft will use Firepond's Product Data Manager (PDM) as the master data source. This will allow them to rapidly deploy data updates to Firepond CPQ OnDemand so that all users have immediate access to the latest data." "We chose salesforce.com's SFA and Firepond CPQ OnDemand because of the ease of use and flexibility," stated Tom Notar, vice president of Sales Operations for BroadSoft, Inc. "We needed a solution to automate the configuration and pricing of our offerings with easy data integration into Salesforce for complete visibility into our pipeline. Our global sales force needs efficiency -- logging into Salesforce and Firepond through one Internet browser is as efficient as you can get."
