Symphony Metreo Delivers Enterprise Pricing Suite to Global Companies

Exclusive interview featuring Symphony Metreo's John Zimmerman

Denver, CO (PRWEB) June 11, 2008 -- John Zimmerman, Vice President of Strategic Accounts for Symphony Metreo, Inc., recently participated in an exclusive interview with Ron Powell and the Business Intelligence Network (www.BeyeNETWORK.com). In this interview, Zimmerman explains how global companies are achieving significant profit improvements through better pricing decisions and disciplined price execution with Symphony Metreo's Enterprise Pricing Solutions.

"With current economic pressures and related business volatility, many organizations are at a disadvantage with traditional pricing approaches that aren't flexible enough to keep up with shifting financial targets. In order to make better pricing decisions, companies should start by better utilizing in-house data and integrating that information with a solid business intelligence backbone. Pricing software from providers like Symphony Metreo can then help enforce best practices and create better processes around pricing that can have a real impact on margin," says John Zimmerman, Vice President of Strategic Accounts, Symphony Metreo. "In this BeyeNETWORK Solution Spotlight, listeners will learn about the steps involved with identifying opportunities for pricing improvement, and the benefits of establishing a closed-loop process for setting and re-aligning revenue projections to better execute on financial goals."

"Our business intelligence readers are gravitating toward operations to drive profit," says Ron Powell, Cofounder and Editorial Director of the Business Intelligence Network. "Strategic pricing is an area that hasn't changed much historically until the advent of Symphony Metreo with its Enterprise Pricing Suite."
