No Upgrade Protection Required OpenCRM gives you FREE upgrades between versions. Having recently looked at competitive CRM software solutions, most offer an upgrade plan for their application, this quite often comes at a price. Looking at Maximiser CRM 10 Freedom, their Upgrade Protection Plan costs 20% of the license costs per annum, I guess that just means that the license costs are 20% higher first year and your ongoing costs are higher if you want to protect your investment (why wouldn't you) and get the most out the selected choice of product.

Open Source in the Data Integration Business I guess two of the huge growth areas are going to be Data Integration and Open Source, as companies are forced to consider these strategies, either due to technology change constraints or budget. Obviously this begs a question, how are these two areas relevant to each other, is this a particularly strong growth area? Data Integration tools are becoming indispensable in the Enterprise. As companies merge, acquire and grow, their systems need ways to share data. Cost can be a challenge, budgets do not always stretch to the IT change over, or if they do, it’s a planned migration sometimes over years. Sometime technology just does not have an answer, one product, working well for a business with a user adoption because of the familiarity of the application, needs to be retained, and giving rise to the technology challenge of a data migration solution.

Recession, what Recession! Software Add-ons, Managing Director, Graham Anderson, spoke at 'North of England Technology for Business' this month and his subject matter was "Recession, what Recession"!! "Its not that the recession is not happening, that's something that is all around us and obvious, but how we project as a company and in particular limit the effect that these outside influences have our vision, is what counts" Graham said. "We have seen our latest figures go up above the normal trends, with a 172% growth in this month alone" (that's why we are looking for three new members of staff I guess!). "Perhaps its just business owners having to cut their cloth, that makes them look at alternatives to the normal 'CRM Pack' of suppliers, but we have decided that we are not going to take part in this downturn, and thankfully, our customers are agreeing with us. With Salesforce.com hitting $1 billion there is no shortage of people needing hosted CRM or web based CRM solutions". http://add-ons.co.uk and http://opencrm.co.uk.

Customer service "is where its at"... not price We are a company that unashamedly admits that price is one of the reasons why potential clients come knocking on our doors, and that's great (for both parties), without being a bore, that's because we are able to leverage Open Source projects to deliver a product that has no client licenses, so you spend your project budget in the areas that have the most impact, for you. But, price alone is not the reason why clients sign up and indeed stay with OpenCRM (CRM Software providers), in fact price often becomes so less important when offset against Customer Service, and that's my point really!
