Santa Monica, California based CRM solution provider Nimble launched the beta version of Nimble (News - Alert) Contact at the DEMO Spring 2011 conference.

By integrating LinkedIn (News - Alert), Facebook, Twitter, Google, email contacts and conversations into one seamless, intuitive environment, Nimble Contact comes with the promise of helping small businesses in today's socially connected world attract and retain the right customers. According to executive producer of DEMO Matt Marshall, through this launch, Nimble demonstrated a perfect amalgamation of cloud, collaboration, social and CRM technologies into one comprehensive package.

Nimble claimed in a press release that its Nimble Contact is the only solution on the market that integrates the "4 Cs" – contacts, calendar, communications and collaboration.
