Scala and Microsoft Become (Not So) Strange CRM Bedfellows Part Two: Market Impact Continued (4 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Aug 29, 2003 Abstract : Microsoft's foray into the CRM arena has not been a bed of roses, despite its indisputably large marketing muscle and R&D investment, its strong channel, traditionally attractive pricing policies, and the aura and experience within the market segment. Microsoft CRM remains both a threat and an opportunity for the most nimble mid-market CRM vendors. Microsoft’s entry with CRM evangelism through an array of seminars nationwide has bolstered the market’s awareness of the need for CRM applications.

by P.J. Jakovljevic
Mar 11, 2003 Abstract : The ultimate success of Microsoft CRM will be judged by its follow-up releases. While Applix’ decision to abandon the CRM space and suddenly re-focus on BPM may be regarded as a not quite deliberate move, but rather as a sudden act of taking another plunge.

'Best' of the Three CRM Solutions (3 Pages)
by Kevin Ramesan and Katarina Novatzki
Aug 5, 2004 Abstract : In 2004, Best Software acquired ACCPAC through its parent company The Sage Group plc and has now released a new version of its CRM product: SalesLogix 6.2. Their objective is clearly to gain as much market share as possible in the growing small and medium sized enterprise market (SME). Acquiring additional market share is a clear objective when competing in a target market that houses players such as Microsoft CRM, Salesforce.com and the mid-sized Siebel offering. It will be interesting to watch how Best Software will position its new 'trio' product lines ACT, ACCPAC, and SalesLogix on the battleground.

Will A Big Fish's Splash Cause Minnows' Flush Out Of The CRM Pond? (5 Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Mar 10, 2003 Abstract : While Microsoft’s zeal to deliver a market-ready CRM product may speak to the CRM market’s attractiveness, Applix’ exit may, on the other hand, indicate that the niche CRM vendors without a clear differentiating value proposition have not much to look for there in the long run.

CRM: The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth(For A Change) (7 Pages)
by Dick Lee/Caribou Lake
Feb 15, 2003 Abstract : Finding out the true facts about what makes CRM tick and how fast it circles the ROI clock—if it indeed reaches ROI-has long frustrated potential CRM implementers looking for answers. And getting good answers really matters, because their only alternative to being forewarned may be leaping into enterprise-wide, mega-bucks, change management-laden CRM implementations—and testing the depth of the water with both feet. For the first time, there are statistically-based, substantive answers to many questions about CRM.
