The integration will enable Nimble users to access a set of company information everywhere they work including social networks, other sales and marketing apps and even on any company website.
Owler’s CEO, Jim Fowler, believes the Competitive Graph will have a massive impact on CRM systems and the business world. “Data drives businesses,” says Fowler. “Having the most accurate competitive data is a requirement for success.”
Jon Ferrara, CEO of Nimble, said, “Access to immediate relevant and actionable data is key to effective engagement in business. Our Nimble Smart Contacts App delivers Live Contact Profiles on anyone anywhere and now we can deliver Live Company Profiles with the integration of Owler company profiles,” he added.
