Vendavo's174;, the leading provider of business-to-business price management and optimization solutions (http://www.vendavo.com) today announced the success of the company'ss Executive Forums on Pricing in San Jose, Chicago and New York. During May and June 2009, more than 150 executives from 50 industry-leading business-to-business companies came together for productive, interactive sessions where they discussed how companies can leverage strategic pricing solutions to solve unique business problems and improve margins.
The events each kicked off with a keynote from Vendavo'ss CEO Al Crites, in which he introduced strategic pricing solutions and shared real-world case studies. The agenda included
presentations from Vendavo customers across high tech, manufacturing and process industries. During afternoon roundtables, executives interacted directly with their peers to discuss
topics ranging from complex pricing challenges and organizing for pricing success, to building a business case for pricing within an organization.
The energy during these events and the enthusiasm for strategic pricing solutions at the executive level reinforces the idea that to be competitive and profitable in today'ss economy,
businesses need to align effectively around pricing, said Al Crites, CEO of Vendavo.
The Vendavo Executive Forum was an extremely valuable investment of our time. It was great to learn about pricing best practices as they relate to the current economy and to interact with
peers and exchange ideas related to pricing solutions. We came away with excellent pricing insights that we can apply immediately to see significant gains, said Kim Appleton, corporate
pricing manager, Freescale Semiconductor.
Vendavo will host its European Executive Forum on Pricing in October.
