“Skura Corporation was chosen because of our demonstrated experience and domain expertise with Oracle/Siebel CRM systems,” said Jeff Wessinger, President of Skura Corporation (Products Division). “eDetailing solutions, like SFX Viewer, work with CRM systems seamlessly, delivering remarkable cost savings and reduced technology requirements.
