Auxilium Pharmaceuticals Moves to Target SFA
Norristown, PA., February 15, 2005 - Target Software today announced that Auxilium Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AUXL), a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and markets products for urologic and sexual health, has chosen to switch from its current provider of sales force and marketing information technology to the Target SFA pharmaceutical sales effectiveness suite. Approximately 100 Auxilium field representatives and managers are being trained and deployed on Target Software's leading pharmaceutical sales solution.
Auxilium representatives will run Target Mobile Premium Edition, which combines the Pocket PC and Web versions of Target Mobile, for optimal sales force productivity both at home and in the field. Auxilium field managers will utilize Target Mobile Web to proactively manage their districts on a real-time basis. Sales operations, information technology and senior management personnel at the company's headquarters will all leverage Target BackOffice for the wide range of operational and reporting functions it provides. Target Information Delivery, Target Software's new automated report distribution tool, will also be utilized by Auxilium.
"Target SFA was clearly the right choice for Auxilium's sales force in the field," commented Ed Kessig, Auxilium's Vice President of Sales. "Our representatives can access Target Mobile Web using their laptops while taking the ultra-convenient Pocket PC version everywhere they go in the field. We expect that the Pocket PC running Target Mobile will improve productivity, reduce paperwork and equip our representatives with relevant data for each sales call."
"Target Software has a great reputation for rapidly delivering high quality software for pharmaceutical field sales," commented Jeff Mastrangelo, Auxilium's VP of Decision Support and Sales Development. "I'm impressed with how quickly Target SFA can be configured and deployed, considering the comprehensive front-to-back functionality the suite provides. Target Software has been more than willing to commit to build and support the enhanced functions we need, without customizing the software. That's really a key strength."
"It has been a pleasure working with Auxilium's talented sales operations team to implement the entire Target SFA suite," comments Dave Yurasits, Target Software's Director of Windows Solutions. "Auxilium is clearly committed to providing their sales force everything they need for maximizing personal and company performance and the Target SFA suite is well equipped to deliver on Auxilium's vision."
