Oracle unveils Oracle Fusion CRM in the Cloud

Oracle Fusion CRM Cloud Service helps sales professionals outsmart their competition by planning, prospecting, collaborating and closing smarter. The system's embedded business intelligence delivers unprecedented insight into sales planning and sales performance management, so that sales representatives and sales leaders can sell smarter.

A part of the recently announced Oracle Public Cloud, Oracle's enteprise-grade CRM Cloud applications offer the advantages customers expect from SaaS (software as a service), without the limitations of niche solutions. They deliver the power of Oracle Fusion Applications in a simple subscription pricing model - with no hardware to buy and no software to support.

Oracle's Cloud Services are built on Oracle technology and support customers' choice of deployment models by offering portability between the public Cloud, private Cloud and on-premise deployments.

Organisations can start with one module and grow to a full suite over time:

• Oracle Fusion CRM Cloud Service: Delivers best-in-class CRM capabilities that drive smarter selling. Oracle Fusion CRM Cloud Service enables organisations to:
• Integrate sales territory management with quota management to help sales organisations optimize resource allocation.
