Remote Synchronization Proves Top Benefit for Commence CRM Solution
Jul 7, 2009 Business
Michael D. Warner, CPA and President of Warner Technology, Inc., a business consultancy located in Medina, Ohio, said, “I have been working with Commence CRM since the days of IBM Current in the early 1990’s. I was introduced to the program when I was working at an accounting firm in Cleveland. What prompted the initial need for the Commence technology solutions was, “Our need to find a program where we could store all our data and relate it to other areas of our business. We could enter contact information and connect it to appointments, projects, billing and invoicing information all rolled into one.”
Warner also noted that, “Aside from the fact that we have built a business around providing Commence as a solution to many of our clients, we have been able to streamline our own business processes into one software platform. We have also benefited from the remote synchronization by creating virtual offices and the ability to work from anywhere we are, whether at a client office or home offices.”
Warner even acknowledges that when the firm first started using the Commence synchronization technology, they tried to “break it” by introducing situations in which might cause it to fail. “We would start the synchronization of data from a client copy of the database to the server and then remove the network connection to the Internet in the middle of the process. When we re-established the connection, the data began to flow again. We were amazed. That technology was introduced back in the early 1990’s and is maintained in the current product today. The synchronization process was and in some ways is still ahead of its time!”
The most important feature of Commence that Warner Technology recognizes for the business sector is flexibility. Warner insists, “We will continue to take advantage of the technology in Commence and push into several specific areas of the marketplace where we see tremendous potential for the Commence product.
Many small and mid-sized businesses (SMB) have taken notice of Commence Corporation (www.commence.com), a provider of on-premise and hosted web-based solutions designed specifically for this businesses sector. The company is gaining momentum and marketshare with Commence On-Demand, a suite of CRM (customer relationship management) applications that is deployed as software as a service (SaaS).
According to Larry Caretsky, President of Commence CRM, “We are delighted that Warner Technology is able to gain so much benefit from the technology solutions we provide.”

Title and Escrow Firm Finds Best CRM Solution With Commence
Jun 8, 2009 Business
E. Clifford Treat, vice-president of Development for The Talon Group, escrow and title services, first experienced Commence CRM with his own company in 1995. According to Treat, “The Talon Group has been a Commence user since 1999. The initial need for the Commence technology solutions for Treat’s own company followed a careful examination of a wide range of solutions (ACT! Maximizer, among others…”We required the ability to support a national (and later International sales force). None of the other solutions possessed both the customizability and ability to support a geographically dispersed workforce anywhere near as well as Commence was able to do.” Similarly, Talon required the customization by business people rather than programmers as well as the ability to integrate changes “on the fly” while people were using the system.
Treat identified the top three benefits The Talon Group has experienced as a result of using Commence CRM:
• The ability to translate ideas into action in hours and days as opposed to weeks and months has allowed us to present a very responsive “client-facing” side to the company.
• Internet integration – From very early on, we have been able to serve up client data in near real-time through the Internet.
• Customizable user interface. We have a variety of users and the interface can be adapted so each user has a “desktop” that supports the way he or she does business. It has dramatically improved productivity as well as reduced errors.
Treat also noted that, “We use Commence as a data cube that supports not only our desktop environment, but also provides a wide variety of data driven services through our website to real estate professionals…we also support our client’s end user that allows them to see status, documents, about their transaction(s) and communicate with us and their agents and loan officers. Both sites provide seven years of historical data online. Finally, we have an internal site that supports our sales and customer service people with real time data and analysis.”

Paying for Your CRM Solution
May 24, 2009 Business
Yes, you’ve finally got the idea that you need a CRM solution and you’ve even undertaken the preliminary steps ensuring that the conducive environment exists in the organization. But, No. You have absolutely no idea of how to pick the best possible solution for your needs. You clearly have enough sense to know that the most expensive solution isn’t exactly the most effective one and you also know vendors are extremely smooth-talking. And business is all about saving money. Here are a few tips on how to go about it:
Since the industry is very competitive and there are lots of vendors who are willing to offer deep discounts to bag the deal, vendors of CRM software are forced into quoting inflated starting prices to give themselves room to maneuver by companies which demand discounts.
Therefore it would be ideal for a company to do some research on the current market prices of CRM software as well as obtaining information from customer reference checks. In this way, you can get a fair idea of what the official company discount is. Traditionally during negotiations, the standard vendor discount price is the deal offered by the vendor company without much hassle. The best idea would be to start talking from the standard discount price and then try to reduce it further, not reducing from the listed price.
It is always good to keep one’s options opens till the deal is done (the part with the ceremony and the signing on the dotted line). Letting the sales representative know that you’re looking at competitors as well can be pretty effective means to obtain better discounts. After all, which sales representative wants to go back to his boss and state that he/she lost his big deal to the competitor due to the discount factor?
A word of caution though. As in the case with any product in any market, vendor products come loaded with additional functionalities. Unless the functionality is of any particular use to your business, it should best be avoided. Additional functionality often requires additional training and introduces unnecessary overheads without much result coming out of it (unless the product comes with a free doughnut vending machine! then you can always talk about inflation in those waistlines). These free add-ons are introduced by the vendor as an efficient means of marketing a new untested/underperforming product.
A standard method of obtaining vendor discounts is by agreeing to act as a reference to other companies in the business. Since it makes better sense to take advice from someone who has used the vendor’s services, vendor companies are often willing to offer huge discounts to companies that are willing to serve as their product ambassadors. But this should be handled by the company’s legal department as it involves some amount of legal jargon in the contract.
When negotiations reach a stalemate due to unwillingness of either party to budge from their position, try asking the sales representative for a breakdown of the product pricing. Ask for discounts on those functionalities of the product that are not the core essentialities of your business requirement. Or better still; try looking for discounts in areas like implementation, maintenance and consulting. Or ask for free training and upgrades as part of the deal.
When using hosted CRM solutions, there are still means to come out with a pretty good deal. Vendors in such cases are willing to offer discounts for longer periods of service. Also, with hosted services, certain assurances of minimum service quality can be asked of from the vendor. Though most service agreements are standardized, it is a fairly normal procedure to customize solutions as per needs. In such cases financial penalties or contract termination are applicable in case of inconsistencies in the service or there are security breaches.

Commence CRM Solution Celebrates a Decade With Xtell Var
Mar 13, 2009 Business
Xtell-SFB Solutions for Business owner, George Coletta has been using Commence CRM for a decade now. What prompted the initial need for the Commence technology solutions was the ability to easily and confidently build a customized application based on the business requirements as opposed to trying to fit a business requirement into an “out of the box” product.
The top three benefits Xtell has experienced as a result of Commence are:
• Ability to accommodate changing needs quickly.
• Ability to implement new business processes with a minimum of effort and then to modify the process to meet the exact requirement of the business process.
• Users quickly learn how the Commence application can help them do their job.
According to Coletta, “I am currently working with a large defense contractor where Commence was introduced years ago and is still a valuable asset to the department that uses a highly customized version of Commence RM.” He also suggests that companies with 25 to 200 employees, “Is where Commence RM as a software baseline product shines. These companies typically do not have the in house staff to support applications nor do they understand how to implement a database that will be successful in their environment. This is where the VAR (value added reseller) like me, located geographically close and available to the client, can implement “phased in solutions” that meet the specific requirements of the company.
Xtell’s owner continued with praise for Commence:
• With each release of Commence RM there are functional improvements and Commence has done a remarkable job of keeping their product offerings compatible with ever changing technology and the constant Microsoft “improvements” and new offerings.
• Every customer that I have has constant new requirements. With Commence RM most of the requirements can be quickly implemented (which implies less cost) to the customer.
• As technology advances and as customers begin to realize the value of a reliable database implementation there will be numerous opportunities to use the Commence RM technology as the solution of choice.
• Local VARs can meet these needs thus creating a symbiotic relationship with Commence Corporation which leads to more opportunity for both parties and reliable, customized, low cost, implementations for the customer.
Many small and mid-sized businesses (SMB) have taken notice of Commence Corporation (www.commence.com), a provider of on-premise and hosted web-based solutions designed specifically for this businesses sector. The company is gaining momentum and marketshare with Commence On-Demand, a suite of CRM (customer relationship management) applications that is deployed as software as a service (SaaS).
According to Larry Caretsky, President of Commence CRM, “We are delighted that Xtell is able to gain so much benefit from the technology solutions we provide.”

Small Business CRM Solutions
Mar 12, 2009 Business
In today’s business scenario, it is well agreed that companies have to be really good at what they do best. This at a reduced cost. This is achieved by doing business smartly.
The steps to do business smartly are:
- Making changes in the business that will have the maximum impact.
- Process automation
- Effective analysis leading to improved sales
- Increased customer responsiveness
- Technological advancement
Since small businesses are essentially customer driven, it makes sense to have the business in more of a customer-centric role. Customer management serves the role of value addition to business, while tailoring the business to meet customer requirements based on analysis allows for value addition to the relationship with the customer. This is where a Customer Relationship Management solution comes into play.
A good CRM solution is based on the following fundamentals:
- Streamlining & Automation in sales
- Streamlining & Automation in marketing
- Increasing customer responsiveness
- Productive relationship management & analysis
This is where the decision on the type of solution plays an important role. Most of the time, software solutions which are on-premise are perfect fits. However on account of cost & implementation issues, on-demand solutions are seeing growth these days. On-demand solutions allow a customer to rent the software solution after purchasing the license followed by the purchase at a later point of time.
In-House: An In-House solution has benefits like easier system integration, locally available data, customization and lower fees. But it suffers from drawbacks like high investment & upgrade charges, lengthy implementation and a longer period of time for the return on investment to fructify.
On-Demand: An On-Demand solution has benefits like lesser capital, shorter implementation period, easily accessible upgrades and a shorter period for the return on investment. However, the most identifiable drawbacks include data security issues as the information resides outside the company and monthly charges costing more over a period of time compared to a fixed installment payment.
Before choices are made of the Customer Relationship Management solution, one should understand that such a system should provide certain minimum functionalities like:
- Existing process support & improvement
- Easily customizable
- Understandable user interfaces
- Easy system integration
- Scalability
- Flexibility
Before picking a CRM solution, a thorough analysis of the available options is necessary. One should remember that the reason most CRM solutions fail is because of weak focus on business objectives & technology driven processes. This is where thorough research helps. Right down from the company to that of the necessary solutions. After all, doing your homework always helps.
