Choosing the Best CRM for Your Organization - 2007  245.6 kB

CRM buyers have a wealth of deployment options available to them, providing unprecedented flexibility, costefficiency and business value. They can opt for a traditional on-premise packaged software installation, subscribe to one of the new breed of on-demand services delivered via the Internet, host their own on-demand solution or deploy a combination of those approaches. This gives IT organizations the power to fine-tune CRM deployments to match their needs, strategic objectives and the budgets of business users. But with choice comes complexity. Not only must IT managers carefully analyze their business scenarios, they also must understand the strengths and weaknesses of the available products.

With consolidation inevitable in the market, users need to choose vendors wisely. This white paper describes and analyzes the four most popular deployment scenarios, then offers a guide to choosing a hybrid approach that best matches the needs of the business while delivering superior performance, application integration and functionality.
