Pivotal turns to Microsoft for help
eWeek | at | by Mike
Customer relationship management software maker Pivotal Corp. saw software license revenues nearly cut in half in the most recent quarter. And like sometime rival Siebel Systems Inc., which is also plagued by falling license revenues, Pivotal is turning to Microsoft Corp. to help boost sales. To help spur revenue growth, Pivotal announced Thursday an extension of its relationship with Microsoft, of Redmond, Wash.,, including new demand generation initiatives for the healthcare and contact center markets. The companies will go to market together with combined solutions targeting mid-enterprise CRM (customer relationship management) in those verticals.
