Application Development

Cloud computing provides large, complex software solutions to companies, without requiring them to purchase expensive equipment, or maintain the software and infrastructure with an in-house tech team.

Enterprise Cloud Computing

Enterprise cloud computing? That’s when businesses run their apps and data storage over the ‘net.

5 Best Practices for CRM Customization

Friday, May 28, 2010 by Jace Modavi

CRM Customization

One of the major selling points of customer relationship management (CRM) systems is customization. In the past, companies that wanted to utilize a CRM platform had to purchase software off the shelf; frequently there were many applications bundled together, which meant that the company paid for everything, regardless of whether or not they would actually use it all. It was expensive to purchase multiple copies of licensed software, and upgrades could be complex and time-consuming. Then came cloud computing, which involves the use of applications that run remotely, through the internet. Upgrades take place automatically, without employee downtime; apps can be shared across all channels without the use of multiple software bundles, and all data can be easily accessed, whether the employee is telecommuting, traveling or located across the globe.
