CEI

CEI is providing document reproduction, document processing and office automation equipment. In practice that means keeping every contact, deal and follow-up in one place so nothing slips.

The natural audience is sales teams and founders who are tired of spreadsheets. They also list Cloud Computing, Cloud Data Services, CRM, Document Management and IT Management, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

CEI is based in Raleigh, North Carolina and founded in 1957. Their site is copycei.com.
