Microsoft CRM is very costly compared to other web-based CRM's out there....I think like one user is 4k and you have to integrate so much that time becomes an issue too.....could be wrong....the only thing that I've seen in the demos that is "fairly good" is the integration with Outlook....I'm sure we all know how much fun Outlook and Outlook Express can be without the additional CRM package updating your personal Outlook. Now add on the problems of outlook and tie your whole business information and sales force into it....hmmm What if someone doesn't use Outlook, do the same great attributes to the product work on the other Mail Clients out there?
What difference is it going to make if the site is CFM or ASP, your still going to have to connect to the management systems using middle-ware languages or web services, or both? It doesn't surprise me at all that they would tell you something to this effect :) Matt Blatchley Bridgeleaf Studios www.bridgeleaf.com www.bridgedexchange.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 1:11 PM Subject: [KCFusion] CRM questions - repost of truncated paragraph > > I truncated the paragraph below about CRM solutions, sorry. > > The other company, the less expensive one, tells us that we'll have to > write our data on the Web site to a text file and do 'manual' transfers > between the site and the CRM system.
