The latest news:
CRM Replaces Salesforce.com
Press Release
For Immediate release
Microsoft Gold Partners Cognite have successfully rolled out another Microsoft Dynamics CRM system for heavyweight UK IT security professionals, Nebulas Security, to make it a CRM hat trick in as many months.
After a brief business analysis tender with Nebulas Security, Cognite recognised a need for improved business processing in areas that were not being addressed by Nebulas Security’s existing solution Salesforce.com.
The CRM set up and migration of data from Salesforce.com to Microsoft CRM was all carried out in a neat 1 week period and went live on Monday 3rd December.
Cognite designed an application built specifically for the purpose of extracting data from Salesforce.com to migrate into Microsoft CRM.
Nebulas Managing Director, Nick Garlick, and the Cognite team identified main areas Salesforce.com was not delivering where Microsoft CRM would; Salesforce.coms lack of on-premise capability (on-demand only), absence of vertical functionality, few vertical add-ons and limited integration capabilities with existing productivity software and Line of Business applications.
Nebulas Security’s Nick Garlick is impressed with the speed in which the system was rolled out and at the ease in which Nebulas employees have “picked up” the new system.
“After a year using Saleseforce.com we weighed up our options, along with Cognite we concluded Microsoft CRM would better fit our business needs”, Mr Garlick said.
“We had a very small window of 1 week to migrate our data from Salesforce.com to Microsoft CRM, Cognite’s specifically designed application migrated the data from Salesforce.com to Microsoft CRM without a hitch.” He said.
The recent flood of Microsoft CRM projects for Cognite may be an indication of things to come for Salesforce.com. Nucleus research released results of research showing almost half of Salesforce.com customers are planning to or would consider moving to another solution.
Being Microsoft Gold Partners and CRM experts, Cognite have been busy at work with CRM projects to date.
