Software vendors love to make ROI claims. But CFOs (and many other buyers) have become skeptical, because if they were to sit down and add up all the ROI claims from all the vendors they’re doing business with, they’d be running something like a 500% profit margin by now. And in a world full of LOLs, that’s a pretty big one.
Well, here we go — making our own ROI claims. But before you roll your eyes, give us a chance to tell you why you should pay attention to this one. First of all, we’re Texans, and if you know anything about the Lone Star state, you should know that we don’t like people who are “all hat and no cattle.” In Texas, your word is your bond, and whether you like it or not, you’re always going to hear the truth from us.
Secondly, these aren’t our numbers. We went to 131 of our customers and asked them to share the numbers that they are using internally to report on the effectiveness of the PROS RPM Platform. They submitted more than 400 data files to us, and we put team of data scientists to work to make sure it was as clean and truthful as possible — eliminating duplicates, unnecessary fields, and any outliers. And obviously, we’ve de-identified the data so that we could get an aggregate view and also protect customer confidentiality.
The results are pretty amazing. And specifically, there are three numbers that have us REALLY excited: 200, 67, and 8. Why? Because these numbers dimensionalize the success our customers are enjoying:
But, to our customers, these aren’t just cold, hard numbers. They’re markers of real, business-transforming change. When it comes to ROI, lots of companies make promises, but we deliver. And with the digital age pushing businesses to lean more and more on data, these numbers are our way of saying, “Hey, we’re here for you. And we’re darn good at what we do.”
