Patrick runs the product organization at the FunCo Company. One day his phone rings and it’s Jaheim from the sales department. Jaheim has been working his way into a sales meeting with a Quantisys, a large player in the market. He finally got a chance to demo the software in front of the Quantisys senior leadership team and they absolutely fell in love with it, but like all dream deals, there was a catch; the software needed to integrate with Quantisys’ current billing system. Jaheim knows that billing integrations are high on the list of features the development team is working on. He hopes to get the integration Quantisys needed prioritized and implemented quickly, enough to possibly salvage the deal.
