  9. iQuote ‘quote’ (no pun intended) “Aggressive growth and business acquisitions have resulted in multiple, disparate sales quote tracking systems within Laird Technologies. This has hindered our ability to reduce quote lead times and analyze sales cycles enterprise-wide. It was critical to Laird Technologies that we have a sales quote tracking tool that is fully integrated to our QAD MFG/PRO (EA) system, is web-enabled and provides a quick and easy workflow to manage the sales quote process. In ISS we found a partner who brings a wealth of QAD MFG/PRO (EA) knowledge as well as the ability to develop and deliver a system on time and within budget.” Todd Rumsey, CIOLaird Technologies
