EATONTOWN, N.J. -- February 22, 2022 -- CDS, the leading provider of Multi-Vendor Services (MVS) for data centers worldwide, today announced the launch of the new Raytrix MVS Enterprise Pricing Module which will enable partners to speed new revenue opportunities by generating pricing quotes more rapidly and automatically through direct access to the CDS pricing engine.
This new capability runs in the Azure cloud, and is able to leverage the powerful Microsoft AI model. Each new quote generated ‘trains’ the underlying model on parts, descriptions, and price. This ever-evolving model will then inform price and discount trends by product, OEM, and geography over time. For example, a sales rep entering partial information about a customer environment will see context added and blanks filled in to speed the process of generating a quote.
Dan Newton, CEO of CDS, said, “A little over a year after launching our Raytrix MVS platform, we continue to add capabilities that make it the most partner-friendly set of tools on the market. Now, by leveraging our Raytrix pricing module to create quotes based on their own custom price books, OEMs will be able to get the quotes they need for their data center maintenance much faster than normal industry standards. This will, in turn, give data center administrators more control over their budgets, and therefore their entire data centers.”
Now supporting more than 600,000 enterprise data center SKUs across more than twenty OEMs, this second generation cloud-based pricing engine ensures consistent, accurate quotes globally. Reducing turnaround to minutes instead of days, this new technology allows CDS to not only speed up its sales process, but also deliver quickly on partner SLAs.
CDS Raytrix MVS Enterprise Pricing Module also:
Enables a 60% increase in quote volume
Supports custom price books by partner, by geography
Is able to support bulk import and translation of 10K+ row of data center inventories
CDS and its Raytrix MVS platform extend a full suite of capabilities to a wide range of different OEM hardware platforms, from midrange and high-end storage systems to the most popular server and networking products. CDS partners with the leading data center infrastructure providers to deliver MVS on a global basis in a complementary fashion rather than competing against them the way TPMs do.
