The Limitations In Your CRM Software
Posted by Bill Goulette on Wed, Mar 31, 2010
Each CRM software has limitations. If the limitations aren't in the functionality offered in a specific product suite, then you have to consider the CRM planning and effort it will take to configure the application to fit business needs vs. upgrading to a suite with more functionality.
When I am asked about whether or not a CRM software can support some particular business need, I will usually respond with "yes, but at a cost". Selecting applications with required functionality, that provide easy configuratioun and setup, and low complexity for administrators and end users seems like the panacea and frankly is more achieveable today than ever. Today, I would like to point out a few things relative to Salesforce CRM software and technical limitations.
Salesforce CRM software is quite possibly the most powerful CRM software in the market today. Being an implementer, it makes a lot of MY job easier from a technical standpoint so that I can focus on the customers business needs.
Occasionally, I get caught up with an unexpected technical limitation though. While all the salespeople on the teams that I work with are certified in the application, not all details of the client needs or system limitations are aired out in the sales cycle. This is generally a no-fault scenario that can cause bumps in the road of the project initially. So, in the interest of full disclosure, I offer this link to the website that I use when discussing Salesforce limitations related to specific editions as well as general limitations. It answers the vast majority of questions posed during business analysis and system design sessions. It is also a good reference for the person who is responsible for the technical buying of a new CRM software.
