Sant Named as Finalist for KMWorld Promise Award

Award competition recognizes companies who deliver on the promises they make to customers

CINCINNATI; November 1, 2007... The Sant Corporation, a world leader in proposal and sales document automation software, was named a finalist for a KMWorld Promise Award. The competition, sponsored by KMWorld magazine, recognizes companies delivering positive business results to their customers. Sant was named a finalist in recognition of the documented productivity improvement and win rate increase realized by their customers.

According to a 2006 study of 136 companies, Sant customers realize an average productivity improvement of 41% and win rate increase of 24%. Customers improve productivity by reducing the time to create proposals, RFP responses, presentations, and related documents and increase win rates by delivering persuasive, client-focused sales documents. Sant Suite’s built-in best practices also assist users in creating sales documents with a greater win probability.

In addition to software solutions, Sant provides consulting services to implement best practices in the proposal center and assist in the preparation of strategic proposals. Sant has earned an impressive win rate of 90% when consulting with companies on individual proposals.

“Sant has exceeded our expectations in every measurable way,” said Howard Farfel, executive vice president of sales for The Ken Blanchard Companies. “Sant analyzed our business and made recommendations to improve our proposal process and document structure. As a result of implementing their recommendations, we now have consistent methodology and messages across our sales organization, and we won significant new global business within three months of the program roll out."

“For the last 30 years we have helped companies streamline their proposal process and increase win rates,” said Lewis Miller, president of The Sant Corporation. “This wealth of experience has a direct impact on our customers’ success. KMWorld is aware that many vendors make claims about improving sales effectiveness and therefore has promoted this award to help companies determine who delivers on their promises.”

The winning organization will be announced at the KMWorld & Intranets conference in November. More information is available at www.kmworld.com.
