Prophet 3.0 by Avidian Technologies

Bellevue, Wash.-based Avidian Technologies closed out the week by announcing enhancements to their flagship product Prophet 3.0. Billed in PR material as “the leading contact and sales management software in Outlook,” Prophet 3.0 will now carry more advanced user permissions. Avidian has also promises to provide support for Terminal Server in Prophet 3.0, its leading Outlook-based sales software.

Avidian Technologies CEO James Wong, using language appropriate to his company’s high-fallutin’ moniker, said that “This update to Prophet answers the call from our customers” in their request for greater simplicity and control. Press material promises that support for Terminal Server will allow users “seamless” access to data via a Terminal Server session, thereby increasing access and mobility. The upgrade will also reportedly reduce IT maintenance costs.

Through the User Permissions program, companies are promised to gain the ability to create hierarchies in order to properly divide customer information and thus simply options for each individual user. Global views become just as easily doable as detailed looks.

Avidian touts Prophet as unique in the CRM and sales management software spheres, as the program is built on the .NET platform and into Outlook and so eliminates multiple contact databases and multiple switches between applications. Two editions of Prophet are currently available: the Professional Server Edition and Enterprise Server Edition are available for companies of five or more users. Prices start at just under three hundred dollars per user.
