PROS (NYSE:PRO), the world leader in B2B pricing and revenue optimization science and software, today announced that it has received a “Positive” rating in Gartner’s 2009 MarketScope for Price Optimization and Management Software for B2B. PROS has the largest full-time staff and greatest total annual revenue in the industry, making PROS the clear leader in the pricing software space.

“Where many of our competitors have reduced full-time headcount over the last year, PROS remained consistently strong,” said Andres Reiner, EVP, PROS. “PROS has the advantage given our industry leading commitment to R&D at 25% of annual revenue, our proven ability to successfully deploy pricing software in N. America, Europe, and Asia, and the largest pricing science team in the industry. PROS is well positioned to capitalize on our track record as the only publicly traded and profitable pricing software company and leader in B2B manufacturing, distribution, and services price optimization.”

Gartner’s MarketScope notes that “The potential for this market is considerable because defining and defending optimal prices is a fundamental imperative for enterprises that are responsible for producing returns for stakeholders.”

The report goes on to say “price optimization and management software offer the promise of helping firms better identify shortcomings in pricing practices that erode revenue and margins, and more intelligently discern prices that target marketing will bear, as well as realize efficiencies in deploying, administering, and enforcing prices and pricing policies.”

PROS Pricing Solution Suite (PPSS) empowers B2B manufacturing, distribution, and services leaders to understand how pricing impacts profitability and act strategically to improve both margins and customer satisfaction.
