"The problem today is our contacts and our communications are in too many places," said Jon Ferrara, CEO of Nimble. "Between IM, text messaging, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and email, we can't keep track of it all. Trying to manage all of this in eight different tabs on your browser isn't the solution. We created Nimble to solve our own needs and we're bringing it to the world to help small businesses solve theirs."
Industry expert, Mary Wardley, VP, CRM and Enterprise Applications, IDC, explains, "Seeing Nimble for the first time reminds me of the Alice in Wonderland story, going down the rabbit hole. Let Nimble navigate to the information (social, communications and transactional based) while you enjoy the ride. It's a rethinking of CRM in a social world."
Nimble Contact is the next evolution in relationship management -- a social relationship manager that makes it fun and easy to nurture personal and business relationships. Nimble Contact's core benefit lies in its ability to unify email, calendar activities and social channels, and automatically link all three to business contacts. This allows businesses to easily see all of the communications they and their teams have had with their contacts, no matter where those conversations take place, and without having to jump from window to window, tab to tab, network to network, or application to application.
"Nimble has brought together the perfect combination of cloud, collaboration, social and CRM into one product," said Matt Marshall, executive producer of DEMO. "I'm excited to help bring them to market on the DEMO stage and think they are poised to do well."
