(Source: MARKETWIRE)ZoomInfo(TM), the most comprehensive source of business information on people and companies, today announced that the integration of ZoomInfo and Salesforce CRM has enabled over 200 sales and marketing teams to find, qualify and close millions of dollars of business in 2009. Receiving a 4.8 out of 5 rating from customers on the Salesforce.com AppExchange, ZoomInfo has become a top choice for B2B companies looking to combine prospect intelligence with an industry-leading CRM application from Salesforce.com, the enterprise cloud computing company.

Used by everyone from Fortune 1000 to SMB companies targeting technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and biotech buyers, ZoomInfo's integration with Salesforce CRM enables B2B sales and marketing organizations to effortlessly generate prospect lists and drive leads. Leveraging ZoomInfo, deep profiles on more than 45 million people and 5 million companies are accessible in the Salesforce CRM, including data on everyone from mid-level managers to C-level executives. This provides sales representatives with access to in-depth insights on prospects -- their career history, educational background, board memberships/affiliations and where they've been mentioned on the web -- helping them to build rapport quickly and close more business.

Lavante, the leading provider of on-demand profit recovery and vendor information solutions for Fortune 1000 companies is one example of a company targeting hard-to-reach financial and accounts payable executives. Lavante produces a powerful technology that delivers significant productivity gains and recovery results. The marketing and sales of this game-changing solution to fiscally conservative financial executives can be a complex challenge.

"Getting Fortune 1000 financial executives to recognize that they have the potential to recover millions of dollars through a new on-demand technology that automates what traditionally has been a labor-intensive auditing process is not easy," said Tom Flynn, Vice President of Marketing for Lavante. "ZoomInfo and Salesforce CRM have enabled our marketing and sales team to find entry points in a conservative industry and then build relationships through detailed personal profiles on key decision makers."
