Netformx Integrates Vendor Incentive Promotions and Programs into DesignXpertSAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Netformx®, the leader in sales enablement and profit acceleration solutions that help customers win more digital enterprise opportunities, today announced the availability of Netformx DesignXpert® version 16.0. This latest release provides significant enhancements that make it easier to close more business with higher profit, all while staying within the end-customer's budget. Netformx DesignXpert is the industry benchmark for enterprise technology solution design and proposal generation. Its solution pillars include: Design-to-Win (win more digital enterprise deals), Design-to-Implement (orchestrate flawless deployments the first time), and Design-to-Profit (increase the profitability of every deal). Netformx DesignXpert is the first and only network solution tool to make intelligent suggestions for part alternates and/or promotion and incentive program replacements during the initial design phase, thereby helping to increase Partner profitability and gross margins. By integrating with Netformx PartnerCentral's (formally VARcompliance) PromotionXpert functionality and leveraging Cisco's (News - Alert) Incentives and Promotions programs, Netformx DesignXpert 16.0 makes it easier to compress sales cycles and deliver more winning customer proposals at higher profit levels. PartnerCentral is the industry's first cloud solution to track and collate Cisco Partner activities. With a simple mouse click, PartnerCentral makes certification, specialization, deal tracking, and supply chain purchasing history information available during solution design. PromotionXpert helps manage and optimize Cisco Incentives, Promotions, and other programs relevant to a Bill of Materials. Also, a new DesignXpert object browser panel, Device eXchange, presents alternate Cisco VIP-eligible choices relevant to the Partner's specific Cisco certifications and specializations, thus enabling users to make instantaneous design changes that can improve the deal's margin. Cross-referenced with PartnerCentral intelligence, Device eXchange shows only those Cisco VIP alternates the Partner is eligible to receive rebates on and only those that have a higher potential rebate payout than the parts placed on the design canvas.
