Salesforce.com has announced that Ingres Corporation is using Salesforce CRM to support its global business growth. Following a two week deployment, Ingres integrated Salesforce CRM with the Intacct financial management system from the Force.com AppExchange. Salesforce.com partner Demand Solutions Group helped Ingres with its Salesforce CRM deployment and customization. Ingres is deploying Intacct, Xactly and Vtrenz via the Force.com AppExchange to extend cloud computing throughout the enterprise.

In addition to deploying Salesforce CRM, Ingres deployed Intacct via the Force.com AppExchange for integration between Ingres' financials and Salesforce. The SaaS Intacct solution shares data with Salesforce CRM, so finance has visibility into the sales pipeline, contract status and other critical information, and sales can view account status and accounts receivables details.

Ingres also tapped into the Force.com AppExchange for additional functionality, deploying Vtrenz for additional marketing automation capabilities, and Xactly for sales compensation. When the company needed a custom opportunity form for the business development team to feed information into Salesforce CRM, it built one using the Force.com platform.
