InsideView was founded in 2005 by Umberto Milletti, a former executive and co-founder at DigitalThink, an early Web-based corporate training company. In November 2007, the company acquired competitor TrueAdvantage.[2] After the acquisition, InsideView moved all 2,500 TrueAdvantage customers over to its solution, laying off all 150 TrueAdvantage employees in India.[3]
InsideView's core product is called SalesView. It is available as a stand-alone web application as well as integrated with CRM vendors.
