Vistaar Recognized for Price, Marketing Operations Optimization and Sales Analytics in Gartner Hype Cycle Reports

PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwired - Sep 26, 2013) - Vistaar Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of price management solutions, announced today that the company has been included in six Gartner Hype Cycle reports published throughout July and August. In particular, Vistaar was mentioned in the Aug. 14, 2013 Gartner "Hype Cycle for CRM Sales" report as a sample vendor in the price optimization and management space. Per the report, price optimization "is evolving from a complex, analytics-focused tool used primarily by specialized pricing specialists to a business insight and operations tool that is used throughout the organization to maximize profitability."

"Price optimization intersects with and underpins the top priorities of most global executives," according to the report. "Gartner's research on global business top 10 strategies for 2013 identifies the top three strategies as: (1) increasing business growth; (2) delivering operational results; and (3) reducing enterprise costs."

The Gartner Hype Cycle Report for CRM Sales reviews the visibility, maturity and value of key sales automation technologies and applications to help organizations determine which applications will best meet their needs and budgets. Gartner also reports that "companies that have implemented price optimization successfully have realized significant revenue improvement, and the ROI of the price optimization investment is typically realized in less than two years. These results will promote more widespread adoption of price optimization. However, the complexity of pricing structures and the relatively specialized pricing requirements of vertical industries will continue to slow broader adoption."

Vistaar solutions are mentioned in six recent Gartner Hype Cycle reports that include: Hype Cycle for CRM Sales; Hype Cycle for CRM Marketing Applications, July 31, 2013; Hype Cycle for Analytic Applications, July 31, 2013; Hype Cycle for E-Commerce, July, 31, 2013; Hype Cycle for Big Data, July 31, 2013; and Hype Cycle for Performance Management, July 31, 2013.

Sandy Tungare, Vistaar's founder and CEO, said, "Vistaar is pleased to be named in multiple Hype Cycle reports. In our view, the findings reinforce the value of a pricing platform, which is driving increased adoption rates and helping accelerate time-to-value as companies leverage pricing excellence to deliver differentiation, competitive advantage, and increased margins across multiple industries. As demonstrated by the range of applications Vistaar offers, price optimization can easily be extended into pricing-related processes throughout an organization, effectively maximizing profitability and providing market insights across the enterprise."

One of the most effective means to achieve pricing excellence across an entire organization is to implement a pricing platform. Vistaar's most recent whitepaper, "The Pricing Platform: A Nimble Path to Pricing Excellence," describes an approach to help companies across a broad range of industries generate and accelerate gains from differentiated pricing strategies by combining the best of "build" and "buy" approach in a pricing platform. By implementing a pricing platform, businesses can sidestep the shortfalls of both packaged and homegrown, spreadsheet-driven solutions to better modernize pricing strategies, deliver superior pricing discipline and agility, realize internal efficiencies and eventually outmaneuver competitors.
