News Facts

Cloud9, the leader in on-demand sales forecasting and pipeline management solutions, announced today that DocuSign, Inc., the world’s most trusted electronic signature network with more than eight million customers, has selected Cloud9 Pipeline Accelerator Suite to provide sales analytics and consistent pipeline visibility across its global sales team.

Seeking a more complete solution beyond reporting and metrics, DocuSign is implementing a strategy that extends Salesforce CRM with an analytics tool that provides visibility into pipeline movement while driving critical data entry from sales. For DocuSign, Cloud9’s ease of use, robust features and superior user interface were preferred over other options. After an extensive evaluation of other competitive solutions, DocuSign chose Cloud9 because it comes as a purpose-built pipeline management application that needs minimal configuration, can be deployed in days instead of months and provides sales managers with a comprehensive performance management dashboard.

Leveraging Cloud9, DocuSign has experienced several key benefits:

• Improved sales forecast accuracy
  • Enables analysis of pipeline and forecast changes over time including a comprehensive snapshot of what changed within the opportunity that is quickly visible without having to drill into the record
  • Provides visibility to pipeline outlier data, such as expired deals, aged deals and deals with changing close dates
  • Delivers useful weekly summaries via email of pipeline changes allowing sales managers to quickly drill into what is affecting the forecast
• Improved performance management of sales reps by providing a mechanism to track forecasted deals against quota and pipeline coverage against quota
• Greater flexibility in configuring quotas for various business models, including multiple layer sales teams, renewal quotas, churn quotas and specific partner-related quotas

Additionally, Cloud9 allows DocuSign’s sales leaders to identify changes in their pipeline in the previous week, month, or quarter; compare this to sales quotas and bookings; and focus on deals that present the greatest opportunity.
