Runaware works with one of the top providers of financial software for small to medium sized businesses to bring online demos to channel partners

Fort Lauderdale, Florida (October 9, 2007) – Runaware, the global leader in online demonstration services, announced today that it has launched the Sage Software TestDrive Program for Certified Consultants in North America. The program is designed to extend to partners the same benefits Sage Software already experiences with its direct sales focused TestDrive program. Sage Software Certified Consultants will now be able to offer online demos of Peachtree® by Sage, ACT! ® by Sage and Timeslips® by Sage directly from their own web sites and marketing materials, benefiting from instant lead delivery, the potential for increased conversion rates, and from productivity gains such as the ability to provide demos without being on a customer’s site.

TestDrive customer profiling, lead capture and online demos are already being offered through www.act.com, www.peachtree.com and www.timeslips.com in support of direct sales. The positive results experienced by these products led to a decision to expand the TestDrive offering to Sage Software Certified Consultants. Each Sage Software Certified Consultant that signs up for the program will have their own lead capture form with instant email delivery, the ability to personalize with their own company logo as well as the ability to link back to their own web site or e-store to facilitate sales. Tim Keyes, Runaware CEO states, “We believe the Sage Software TestDrive Program is the next logical step for Sage Software. Providing TestDrive online demos to their Certified Consultants means exposing more people to their software and opens up new sales opportunities for their certified partners. With the considerable resources committed by Sage Software, their Certified Consultants are getting a great deal of value and a helpful aid to their sales processes.”
