Salesforce.com challenges ISVs to build the most innovative cloud-based applications on the Force.com platform
SAN FRANCISCO, CA December 6, 2010 — Gryphon, the leading provider of cloud-based consumer contact preference solutions, today announced that its Core CRM (formerly Privacy Advisor) integration for Salesforce.com has been named a Semi-finalist in the Salesforce.com AppQuest 2010 competition. Selected from an initial pool of over 120 entries, Gryphon's solution sits with some of the most advanced Salesforce.com partner applications. The top 5 finalists and winner will be announced this week at Dreamforce 2010.
AppQuest entries were evaluated on the following criteria:
- Innovative use, implementation, and integration of Force.com technologies
- Strong visual design and user-centric execution
- Early customer success with the application
- Likelihood of long-term corporate success
- Entrepreneurial and/or team competencies
Available on AppExchange, Gryphon's Core CRM certifies federal and state compliance with contact privacy laws across multiple channels (phone, fax, email, sms and mail) and displays the result directly within Salesforce.com in real-time. Core CRM automatically applies legal exemptions to Do-Not-Contact (DNC) restrictions, allowing companies and individuals to expand their lead pool while avoiding costly DNC violations.
"We are very excited to be included as a Semi-finalist in AppQuest and recognized by Salesforce.com," said Scott Hambuchen, president of Gryphon. "This selection reinforces our company's commitment to innovation in contact compliance within the cloud environment. Our integration with Salesforce.com guarantees our mutual customers 100 percent compliance with all contact regulations without changing the way they use Salesforce.com. We take all of the complexity out of customer contact preferences and distill it into a simple graphical indicator."
Companies like Comcast Spectacor — which market to consumers via Salesforce.com — can now tap directly into the industry's most robust contact compliance platform. "Today's marketing privacy regulations are becoming so complex that it's virtually impossible for companies to stay compliant at a reasonable cost," said Jill Jablonski, CRM administrator of Comcast-Spectacor. "We need to stay compliant with our marketing efforts, and Gryphon allows us to do that with Core CRM."
