At Business & Decision we understand that every business has two kinds of customers; those they have and those they want. Utilizing an effective Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution from Business & Decision helps you achieve sales success by enabling you to:

  • Increase performance of marketing activities through better targeting, improving response volume and accelerating response qualification
  • Allow executives and management to monitor and track employee’s interactions with current and prospective customers
  • Boost customer satisfaction
  • Eliminate the use of spreadsheets
  • Track important customer emails
  • Simplify your sales quotes and proposals
  • Consolidate your agreements
  • Reduce errors and duplication of data entry into your accounting system
  • Tightly integrate your CRM, financial management, inventory and orders, project management and help desk software to eliminate duplicate data entry

Business & Decision can provide clarity on the best strategy to achieve the above benefits. We're experts in this area, recognized by customers and analysts including Gartner and AMR for our performance and thought leadership in the evolution of CRM from "cataloging interactions" to creating mutually-beneficial, collaborative relationships.

Flexible CRM Deployment Options to Fit Your Business

Business & Decision gives you the power of choice when it comes to CRM software deployment: private cloud with AlwaysOn-CRM, public cloud or on-premise.

AlwaysOn-CRM (Private cloud)

A Private Hosted Cloud CRM system is like owning your own home and having someone else take care of it for a monthly fee. You can make whatever changes you want. You can move walls, put in the carpet of your choice, change the carpet to your liking; it’s up to you. Through our AlwaysOn-CRM deployment method, Business & Decision offers:

  • Integration with ERP and accounting systems
  • Dedicated server options
  • Customized business application deployment

Public Cloud

CRM solutions in the cloud offer a similar user interface as any on-premise solution, except they are hosted in an off-site data center. True cloud solutions can provide technology, economic and business benefits over the traditional on-premise solutions including ease of implementation and updates, scalability, ease of use, smooth integration, and, in some cases, lower total cost of ownership.

While the business benefits are compelling, public cloud hosted CRM solutions offer less flexibility for customizations compared to private cloud hosted and on-premise deployed solutions. Like renting an apartment in a large apartment complex, you can move in your own furniture, maybe paint a wall or two, but not make any significant changes.

On-Premise

An on-premise CRM solution deployment can be compared to owning your own home – while you’re responsible for the upkeep, you are also free to make whatever changes you like.
