Astadia Integrates McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge Project Data with Salesforce.com Platform
ATLANTA - November 3, 2008 – Astadia, Inc., the leader in SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) consulting and one of salesforce.com's largest deployment partners, has integrated McGraw-Hill Construction’s industry-leading Dodge project data into the salesforce.com customer relationship management (CRM) system, creating a solution that streamlines the acquisition and processing of project information for the Construction industry. The new McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge Data Integrator managed service changes the paradigm from pull to push for the users of Dodge project data, eliminating manual efforts and providing a project-centric framework for sales management, workflows, and real-time reporting.
“The power of this integration has the potential for changing the way that the Construction industry does business,” says Brent Mellow, CMO of Astadia. “By automating the insert/update of projects from the Dodge Data set, clients can quickly identify relevant projects, all of the companies involved – including architects, general contractors and sub-contractor bidders – and track sales activities with each of these companies by project, account and contact.”
"Partnering with Astadia, with their extensive experience on the salesforce.com platform, provides another way for us to offer world-class service to our customers,” says Andrew Fischer, senior director, McGraw-Hill Construction Network. “The integration of our Dodge project data into the Salesforce CRM system is seamless, making it easier for our customers to maximize their return on investment."
“Astadia’s managed service allows ModSpace to easily identify construction projects of interest and route them to our sales reps quickly,” says John Kowalczyk, IT Project Manager, Modular Space Corporation. “The integration saved us from having to invest IT resources in development and maintenance of a custom application.”
The McGraw-Hill Construction Dodge Data Integrator from Astadia is available on the salesforce.com AppExchange and the Astadia website. New clients can take advantage of a year-end pricing promotion through 12/31/2008. More information is available at http://www.astadia.com/solutions/mcgraw-hill.aspx.
