AMICAS, Inc. Generates Record Bookings With Help From The The Automation Partnership Group

SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - October 13, 2009) - The TAS Group (www.thetasgroup.com), the world leader in Sales Performance Automation, today announced another customer success with AMICAS, Inc., the leading independent provider of imaging IT solutions in healthcare. AMICAS implemented The TAS Group's sales methodology and Dealmaker sales performance automation platform in 2008 and has seen 33 percent organic bookings growth over the four quarters ending June 30, 2009, despite a challenging economic environment.

The TAS Group's sales methodology, process, and Dealmaker on-demand software were used by AMICAS to transform their sales organization's performance. Having previously used event-based training, Dealmaker's ability to reinforce best practices for sales people on a daily basis proved to be a welcome change.

"Use of The TAS Group's methodology has been an integral part of our sales success over the last year," said Paul Merrild, senior vice president, marketing and business development for AMICAS. "We've always been believers in sales methodology and process, and Dealmaker's unique on-demand technology adds the daily reinforcement that was missing in past approaches."

AMICAS has also driven further growth through acquisition, having successfully acquired and integrated Emageon earlier this year. A key piece of any successful merger is to integrate sales approaches, and ensure that customers and prospects are handled with a consistent level of service in order to ensure that the combined company can fulfill the promise of value creation for its shareholders. Use of the TAS methodology has helped AMICAS to standardize on sales best practices with Emageon's sales staff.

"We are proud to be associated with a cutting-edge customer like AMICAS," said York Baur, CMO of The TAS Group. "Their commitment to sales excellence is exemplary, and it's gratifying to see our sales methodology, process, and technology play a part in their success."
