Mobile Mentor Limited Mobile services company achieves scalability with customer management system


Case Study Executive Summary

Solution Overview

"Before adopting the Microsoft CRM platform, our customer management system was stretched to the max – it limited our ability to make changes to our business processes or develop new service propositions. Now we can manage our business end-to-end and make changes to the customer engagement model without risking data integrity. Together with an upgrade to Windows Vista and Office 2007, we now have a business management solution that supports our current growth rate and plans for expansion into overseas markets."
