Recognizing Apttus as a Leader in the space, the IDC MarketScape report highlights Apttus CPQ capabilities such as:

    --  Single data model: All of Apttus' applications are built on the same
        data model, native to the Force.com platform, allowing easier
        implementations and upgrades. Apttus architecture can also support
        highly complex quoting/pricing needs including a large cart with more

        both product roadmap relevancy and roadmap communication.
