“Company Name has developed a Product

that solves The Problem

encountered by This Group

The Main Competitor(s)

because of the Key Benefits”

software that that solves the problem of

information access at the point of contact with

criminals encountered by Police Officers on the

street and is a better solution than any system on

the market because it provides instant access to

visual information from multiple sources that is

easy to understand.

SalesLogix is a software company and has

developed a Customer Relationship Management

system that is both more powerful and easier to

use than existing solutions like Act and Siebel .
