Selligent was awarded the 2004/2005 CRM certification by schwetz consulting and Hewson Group / Naujoks & Collegen Users benefit from CRM software proven to be fit for everyday business life
Neu-Isenburg, Germany, January 17, 2005. Selligent was awarded the 2004/2005 CRM certification by analysts schwetz consulting and Hewson Group / Naujoks & Collegen. The provider of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solutions who is based in Gosselies/Belgium and has a branch office in Neu-Isenburg/Germany underwent extensive preliminary testing, with a total of six complex tasks to be solved during an application test procedure of several hours. The tasks were solved in full and Selligent Xi for Web was certified by the initiators of the CRM certification as a mature CRM solution with absolute fitness for every day business life.
The task list successfully realized by Selligent reflected typical challenges of corporate daily business life: Regular tasks, such as creating database entries for prospective customers, maintaining existing records, projecting turnover, running campaigns, managing service requests. With the CRM certification, Selligent has given proof of providing a decisive boost to end user productivity.
Real life test proves fitness for every day business life and benefits to end users
According to analysts, customer data are the basis of every CRM system. Frank Naujoks, talking about one result of the certification, stated that the refined options for information recording and for comprehensive qualification of leads and contacts reflect the long-term development experience of Selligent integrated into the current product. By this, he says, activities can be assigned to individual records and tracked, making every day business life easier for users in sales, in marketing, and in service. A web-based user interface makes mapping business workflows and customizing input masks easy for users. Adding new fields and designing forms to user requirements is trouble-free.
A special challenge of real business life are data imports, for example in the event of system migration, or when handling external address sets. Here as well, Selligent Xi for Web convinces by its smooth data import from Excel, Access, and Outlook.
The background of real life testing and seal of quality
Investing in CRM software is only worthwhile if software bought actually becomes software used. Unused software, bought despite unfitness and insufficient user acceptance, is a luxury that fewer and fewer companies can afford. Against this background the analysts schwetz consulting and Hewson Group / Naujoks & Collegen initiated and execute certification of solutions for their fitness for real business life. This is complemented by IT Matchmaker, an active databased online software selection by partner enterprise Trovarit. As a decisive tool it supports users looking for information, reducing the risk of wrong decisions, while at the same time limiting expenditure.
