Congratulations to Landslide Technologies for making the 2009 AlwaysOn East 100 List. Landslide was selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on demonstration of growth, market opportunity, quality of innovation and customer traction.

Landslide is a forerunner in sales technology. Its Sales P3 System is the only cloud computing offering that combines powerful sales process software with live personal sales assistants to provide salespeople a complete environment for increasing sales.

“The AlwaysOn selection of Landslide is a validation of what our customers have known all along: that Landslide is the first true sales-centric offering built with a mission to help salespeople succeed,” Razi Imam, Landslide CEO, said. “Our focus on helping salespeople close more deals, rather than just capture more data, is what distinguishes us from traditional sales offerings.”
Landslide, along with other AlwaysOn East 100 winners, was recognized at the Venture Summit East Conference in Boston, Mass. in May. Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn, said

“The companies on this year’s list have not only created innovative technologies that solve real business problems, but have stimulated economic growth through the generation of new jobs.” AlwaysOn ignited the open-media revolution in early 2003 by being the first media brand to launch a global blog network.
