24. The Babcock & Wilcox Company
• B&W deployed their new sales application using the Oracle BPM Suite
• IT and the sales force worked together to model the actual best practice
sales processes
• By combining BPM and collaboration, the sales force can quickly receive
input from the numerous parties involved throughout the various steps in
the complex sales process.
• The sales application leverages many of the existing resources currently
available in the MyB&W portal
• B&W supplies more than 40% of the coal fired capacity in the U.S.
• B&W’s sales cycles vary greatly in length of time and complexity of
the projects
• Off the shelf CRM systems were incapable of supporting the
organization’s highly specialized and geographically dispersed
sales force
• B&W desired to implement a sales application to enforce best
practices across sales processes
• New Sales Application replaced existing Lotus Notes
environment freeing up IT resources.
• Improved collaboration provides more accurate pricing,
increasing revenue
• Increased up-selling and cross-selling opportunities
“Business owners can request a change to the
process and test the actual process in moments.”
