CloudShare for Sales

Customers Demand "Try Before You Buy"

CloudShare for sales enables technology vendors who sell software, hardware or appliances to give their prospective customers hands-on experience of their solutions early on in the sales process, getting a leg up on the competition.

A successful evaluation or proof-of-concept (POC) can make or break a sale. With CloudShare, there is no need to ship expensive equipment, install software on-site or wait for the IT department to find available test servers - each prospect gets a unique, separate instance of a complete environment, which they can test with their own data, their own applications and even integrate with on-premises systems.  

Invite prospects to try out your solutions

Track application usage in real time

Even Better Than The Real Thing

A CloudShare demo and POC environment delivers all the benefits of a custom, on-site installation, but for a fraction of the cost and at a fraction of the effort. It also delivers unique capabilities that provide additional value:

  • Running as many evaluations, demos and POCs in parallel as necessary - no limitations of inventory, SE resources and installation issues
  • Ability to collaborate in real time with the customer through the built-in web conferencing, whiteboarding and chat features.
  • Complete visibility into customer/prospect activities, which lets the vendor verify that things are running smoothly, and preempt a crisis if they are not.
  • Customer access to the evaluations that is not limited to staff at a particular facility.

Key Benefits: Speed, Effectiveness, Cost Savings
