CDM Leader Zyme Wins THINKstrategies' Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award

WELLESLEY, MA--(Marketwired - Oct 6, 2015) - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the Cloud Computing market, has named Zyme a winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award.

Zyme is the dominant developer of cloud-based applications for multi-tier channel visibility. Zyme's Channel Data Management (CDM) platform helps manufacturers make better business decisions with verified channel sales and inventory data from distributors, retailers, and resellers in over 200 countries. Zyme's applications, implemented by manufacturers and accessed by their channel partners, support critical business processes, including revenue recognition, timely incentive and trade payments, partner network management, sales commissioning, and supply chain planning. These subscription-based applications integrate with CRM and ERP systems, such as Salesforce.com, SAP, and Oracle.

A prime example of Zyme's measurable business benefits is Plantronics, a pioneer in audio and wearable technology, which cut its channel data error rate from more than 14% to 0.3%, and has been able to raise its CDM accuracy to almost 100%, as a result of Zyme's SaaS solutions.

Based on client successes, Zyme was named a Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award winner.

"We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies for the measurable business benefits we deliver to our customers," said Steve LaPedis, Vice President of Marketing for Zyme. "Zyme's CDM platform not only illuminates the channel to increase sales and reduce costs, it delivers previously unavailable business intelligence across the enterprise."

The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program administered by THINKstrategies' Cloud Computing Showplace to recognize SaaS companies that are delivering measurable business benefits to specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.

"As manufacturers become more dependent on third-parties to sell and support their products they need more sophisticated systems to manage their business relationships," said Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies, "Zyme's SaaS solutions enable companies to more easily track channel transactions, and efficiently manage channel operations."
