CRM], the global leader in CRM, today announced that Gartner, Inc.
has positioned Salesforce as a Leader in its 2018 Magic Quadrant
for Configure, Price and Quote (CPQ) Application Suites for
Salesforce CPQ. Empowering companies to accelerate sales growth,
Salesforce CPQ automates the quoting, pricing, contracting and
billing processes.
"Salesforce CPQ arms sales reps with a fast, integrated and

performance management, order orchestration, price optimization and
billing capabilities to offer a one-stop solution for the entire
