So my sister wants me to be more specific. I’m trying to determine between our data being in-house (price based per license), or our data being housed/owned by the vendor (price normally based per month per user).

I work in a company of about 300 people and need to track about 2,000 contacts. I have Access already, but it seems confusing so I haven’t bothered learning it. FileMaker looks much better and seems easier. Which is better? Thanks!

2.What effect will this have on the market share of its higher-priced products?
3.What form of response from its competitors does the company expect and how are they preparing for it?

•Where does NetApps see the storage software market moving in the near future? How does it see itself in this new market? What are the major opportunities that it would be pursuing?
•What would be NetApps move for or against open source and how will it affect its business strategies?
•How has the company been affected by the publicity surrounding the lawsuit?

This question is for ppl having sufficient experience in Customer Relationship Management Software like Salesforce, Seibel etc.

So don’t worry if you have only ?????????? after seeing this question.

K asked:


I’m looking for a hosted application that will take my incoming (POP3 email) customer support requests, place them in a queue that my two CSRs can use at the same time. I’d like some basic templates and the ability to run some basic reports. I’ve looked into salesforce.com, but that seems like overkill, and I don’t think it works with POP3 inbound email.

The Wizard asked:


Is there anyone out there familiar with Salesforce.com? I need a way to place a drop down for opportunity product type when a lead is converted to an opportunity. we have several products that have specific opportunity fields, but when the rep converts a lead to an opportunity, it goes to a default opportunity page.

Can anyone give me comparative notes on Microsoft CRM Vs. Salesforce?

I have a customer that is currently using Salesforce, he uses AccountDynamics to interface Salesforce with Quickbooks, but AD is going out of business.

I am recommending that he switch to CRM.

Any thoughts/suggestions on how I can convince him? What are the key features that would be good to bring up in a presentation?
