SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/17/08 -- InsideView today announced the availability of SalesView for Microsoft Dynamics CRM at Interop New York 2008. SalesView is one of the first true socialprise applications, which through mash-ups is designed to collect and scan subscription-based sources and the rich, unstructured information living on the social Web to deliver the meaningful insights salespeople need to increase results. SalesView is the first business search and intelligence solution integrated with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and is available immediately for Microsoft customers.

SalesView FREE™ is available to all Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers as a native mash-up. The SalesView integration allows Microsoft Dynamics CRM users to access the valuable sales intelligence generated by SalesView within the Microsoft Dynamics CRM interface, significantly reducing time needed for research and improving productivity. The SalesView application is available for both on-premise and on-demand deployments of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. More detailed information can be found at http://www.insideview.com/Microsoft.

"SalesView provides an entryway to the social Web and empowers sales organizations to gain valuable insight from a wide range of information sources beyond data contained in Dynamics CRM. As a partner, InsideView complements our mission of enabling businesses to find, win, and grow profitable customer relationships."
