Intacct announced a new and improved version of Intacct MAX for Salesforce CRM, a streamlined "lead to cash" application built on the Force.com platform that seamlessly connects Intacct, the most popular financial management and accounting system on the salesforce.com AppExchange and Salesforce CRM, the industry-leading cloud computing CRM application. Intacct also celebrated the success of the rapidly growing number of companies that have "connected the clouds" with Intacct and salesforce.com.

Intacct MAX for Salesforce CRM is a sophisticated composite application for lead to cash processing that spans both Salesforce CRM and Intacct financials. The Summer '09 edition of Intacct MAX for Salesforce CRM includes major enhancements such as expanded bi-directional data synchronization, advanced price book management, automated contract renewals and extended payment processing. As a composite application, Intacct MAX for Salesforce CRM goes far beyond simple data integration by creating new and unified business processes, an integrated user experience, aligned master data and shared business objects across both Salesforce CRM and Intacct.

Intacct MAX for Salesforce CRM showcases how cloud computing can change the process of selecting and deploying business systems. With cloud-connected applications like Salesforce CRM and Intacct, companies can choose these best of breed systems knowing that they will not have to incur the cost or risk of maintaining integration between the applications themselves. In addition, with vendor-supported composite applications the end result will be far superior to that delivered by older data integration-based solutions.
