Success Story
How NEXTDC Leverages Altify To Build Better Relationships and Grow Revenue
A new standard for collaborative, account-based selling.
When NEXTDC realized that fragmented deal reviews and disconnected sales workflows were limiting collaboration, they turned to Altify. Salesforce was in place for core customer data, but sellers were still relying on Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations to manage deals.
After implementing Altify’s Account Planning AI Cloud, NEXTDC created a shared environment for account and deal reviews. The solution enabled sellers to collaborate more effectively, retain institutional knowledge, and work from a common sales language.
Altify’s Insight Mapping and Opportunity Manager also transformed NEXTDC’s customer engagement. These tools helped them identify pain points earlier, close relationship gaps, and streamline execution across the entire revenue team.
The impact was immediate and measurable: stronger collaboration, greater efficiency, and the largest deal in company history.

The Challenge
NEXTDC knew they needed a better way to collaborate around their CRM data. That missing piece turned out to be Altify. Prior to implementing Altify’s solutions, NEXTDC faced many interconnected challenges that limited collaboration and slowed deal execution:
- Disjointed Deal Reviews: Sales teams relied on Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations to prepare for deal and account reviews, resulting in fragmented insights and poor collaboration.
- Lack of a Common Sales Language: Without a shared framework, sellers approached deals inconsistently, which made it difficult to align teams and scale best practices.
- Siloed Customer Insights: Even though Salesforce stored core data, critical insights lived outside the CRM. Teams found it difficult to retain knowledge and maintain continuity when sellers changed.
- Inefficient Sales Workflows: Teams were repeating processes, recreating content, and losing valuable historical context from past deals.
- Limited Visibility Into Relationships: NEXTDC struggled to see relationship gaps clearly, understand stakeholder networks, and identify customer pain points early in the sales cycle.
The Solution: How Altify Transformed NEXTDC’s Sales Process
Altify provided NEXTDC with a unified sales platform that directly addressed collaboration and execution challenges.
Centralized Collaboration Inside Salesforce
With Altify, NEXTDC was able to bring account and deal reviews into a single, shared environment, eliminating the need to circulate documents and spreadsheets. Altify gave the entire sales organization a common language for reviewing, planning, and progressing deals.
Seamless Native Integration
Altify’s tight integration with Salesforce was a key decision factor. The solution fits so naturally that many sellers assume it is built directly into Salesforce.
Actionable Insights With Insight Mapping
Altify’s Insight Mapping proved a major benefit for NEXTDC, enabling the team to map relationships directly within Altify and identify customer pain points earlier in the sales cycle.
The team was able to enter opportunities sooner, align products and services to real needs, and see relationship gaps more clearly. Thanks to greater visibility, NEXTDC was able to strengthen critical relationships and focus efforts where they mattered most.
Opportunity Manager for Deal Execution in the Field
For NEXTDC, the real proof of Altify’s success was adoption in the field. The revenue team was able to streamline workflows, retain knowledge from past deals, and avoid repetitive work with Altify Opportunity Manager.
