Many organizations have spent millions of dollars selecting and implementing CRM solutions over the past several years. Many of these solutions have become obsolete, acquired by larger software publishers who are not supporting older version, and are unable to take advantage of the latest technology. Even more frustrating is that the annual support and maintenance for many older solutions can cost more than selecting and implementing a completely new system utilizing state of the art technology. And, the worst scenario of all . . . many organizations have spent millions of dollars and failed to successfully select and implement an organization wide CRM solution that meets the exacting demands of the Marketing and Sales functions.This webcast will help you evaluate your current CRM solution environment and understand the pros and cons of upgrading versus replacing with new technology.
