Business Wire, June 8, 2005

NASHUA, N.H. -- Pragmatech Software, Inc., the leading provider of sales productivity and proposal automation applications, today announced the release of Version 6.1. Upgrades to the award-winning software suite empower companies to deliver document automation solutions to their sales organizations more quickly than ever before and provide enhanced management reporting capabilities that offer valuable insight into the effectiveness of selling content. This means that customers can cut in half the time sales people spend creating customized, high-quality selling documents such as proposals, presentations, RFP responses, statements of work, and sales letters, while reducing their total cost of ownership.

"We're looking forward to the 6.1 release," said Liz Hamilton, Vice President Product Support, Global Securities and Trust Services, LaSalle Bank. "Every release gives us new functionality and continues to improve our experience. The great thing about working with Pragmatech is, as users, we feel like real partners in the development of the software, which makes it better for all of us."

New features reduce the time it takes for customers to complete an end-to-end implementation of the Pragmatech sales productivity solutions. Customers can more rapidly build their existing content into the knowledge base and more easily apply Pragmatech's proven content management features to facilitate ongoing maintenance of that content. Version 6.1 also provides a streamlined and more automated approach to converting newly built content into Pragmatech's guided document automation applications. These can be deployed in minutes to field sales forces via the Web or locally for immediate gains in productivity and effectiveness.

For tracking and monitoring purposes, Version 6.1 provides management reporting capabilities with pre-defined reports for sales management and the content managers. Standard reports provide insight into the document and presentation creation activity each salesperson is engaged in, and exactly what these deliverables contain. This provides a number of sales intelligence and content management benefits, including better insight into adherence to the sales process, the messages that are being utilized by the sales force, and the effectiveness of those messages, as well as visibility to content and applications that are not being used.

"Our enhanced suite enables sales people to be more effective by helping them to create better quality selling documents in less time," said Brian Zanghi, President and CEO, Pragmatech Software, Inc. "By integrating these solutions with CRM solutions, customers not only experience greater visibility into sales activity but also increased productivity resulting in increased revenue win rates."
