Company Description

Kadient
was born on October 8, 2007 as a result of the renaming of Pragmatech
Software. Pragmatech shipped its first sales knowledge product, focused
on RFP automation, to customers in 1995. With a group of dedicated
employees and hundreds of loyal and passionate customers, the company
built a brand reputation as "The RFP Company." As we built this
reputation, we began to realize the impact our products could have on
the productivity and performance of the entire sales organization
across every stage of the sales cycle. This realization was the
motivation to build the Kadient "inciteKnowledge" product line - a set
of capabilities built for sales people and deployed in a
software-as-a-services model. As Pragmatech was known as "The RFP
Company", our goal is for Kadient to become recognized as the leader in
the next generation of Sales Automation, geared towards improving sales
performance.

We launched our SaaS deployed product line inciteKnowledge in June,
2007 and are committed to the SaaS business model going forward. Nearly
70 companies subscribe to Kadient's inciteKnowledge with over 7000
licensed users.
