Today, we’re pleased to announce the availability of Seismic, the #1 global sales enablement solution, in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. As both a Seismic partner and customer, Microsoft is working alongside Seismic to deliver value to sales and marketing teams across multiple industries and customer segments.
Seismic’s launch in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace comes at a time when organizations are increasingly looking to cloud solution marketplaces versus traditional buying channels for their purchasing needs. Today, 68% of buyers prefer marketplaces because they streamline procurement processes and simplify billing. Seismic’s availability in Microsoft Azure Marketplace will accelerate the adoption of sales enablement software as businesses prepare to meet evolving buyer preferences.
The adoption of digital-first sales models has shifted the way customers prefer to do business. Moving forward, McKinsey notes that 99% of B2B buyers plan to make a purchase in an end-to-end digital-first model, with a majority of buyers open to making a purchase of $50K or more online.
In order to win today and in the future, B2B organizations will need to make investments in their sales tech stack to engage buyers through digital channels. Leading organizations that outperform their competitors increasingly win by engaging their customers online. Through a combination of technology, data, and insights, these organizations increase sales by 5 to 10%, while improving productivity by 10 to 20%.
“Since the beginning of our journey with Microsoft, they have been an incredible partner for Seismic and our joint customers,” said Preseetha Pettigrew, Seismic Global VP, Strategic Alliances. “This is a significant milestone in our partnership together, and I’m looking forward to seeing new customers take advantage of Seismic through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.”
