Where a mid-market implementation is different is that mid-market companies tend to operate on tighter budgets with little room for error and need to see quick results. Such an approach requires the implementation programme to be defined in a way that allows the breadth to be tailored as the work goes on. In essence, a mid-market implementation needs to deliver a succession of quick wins rather than searching for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
A phased approach to CRM may not be one advocated by purists who would seek to remodel an entire company at a stroke, but it is a pragmatic approach that provides real benefits to mid-market companies. However, it also needs an alternative approach to the overall implementation to provide flexibility without the later project requiring significant changes to that already completed.
consultCRM is particularly well placed to assist in this ‘pragmatic CRM’ as we focus on providing highly flexible implementations but with the focus firmly set on delivering real business benefits. |
