HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PROS (NYSE: PRO), the world leader in pricing and revenue optimization science and software, today announced the success of the New York stop on the PROS Global Price Optimization Leadership Seminar Series, held onsite at the New York Stock Exchange. Seminar keynote speakers Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Microsoft (NasdaqGS: MSFT) reinforced their commitment to supporting PROS to deliver advanced pricing science and scalable software with the fastest time-to-value and lowest total cost of ownership. Clearly illustrating the message of rapid and high return on investment, delegates heard how a B2B company recently replaced their pricing system, turning to PROS to identify millions of dollars in actionable revenue improvement in fewer than 30 days.

“PROS customers have compelling stories to tell about how their businesses have changed the game with PROS pricing solutions,” said Jeff Robinson, SVP, PROS. “Over 100 companies have chosen PROS as their partner to achieve the powerful benefits of pricing and margin improvement, and an event like this allows our customers to share those stories with companies just starting the journey – today we heard some very powerful stories.”

Executives have asked for timely and targeted updates on price optimization innovation and industry leading pricing science. In today’s challenging environment, only PROS is positioned to provide B2B leaders a price-based competitive advantage to manage current challenges and emerge stronger.

“The fact that we are the only publicly traded price optimization software vendor with no debt and 10 consecutive years of profitability clearly demonstrates the unique credibility PROS brings to the table when speaking to B2B companies about best-practices in price and margin optimization,” said Jeff Robinson, SVP, PROS. “In addition to being one of the most important criteria for vendor selection, our strong financial viability allows PROS to invest in pricing science and technology to innovate and provide long-term value to our customers at a rate that is unmatched in the pricing software space.”

Upcoming PROS Pricing Leadership Seminars are scheduled for June 9, 2009 in Huntington Beach, CA and June 11, 2009 in Santa Clara, CA. In addition, registration is now open for the PROS European Price Optimization Forum in Frankfurt, Germany on September 28-29, 2009.
