Case Study: Control Technology Corp.

Control Technology Corp. replaces Sage ACT! with Sugar Professional for increased flexibility and end-user adoption for on-demand deployment
If you don't care about money, than use Salesforce.com, but if you do, you'll get a lot more bang for your buck with SugarCRM. The ease of customization and flexibility with Sugar resulted in a lot more value in the long run.

Business Issue:

  • Limited IT resources and industry-specific sales processes meant Control Technology Corp. required a customizable, on-demand CRM solution

Problem:

  • The company was considering Salesforce.com but did not have the budget to allow for the customization expenses.
  • Low end-user adoption of previous solutions meant the new CRM system had to be easy to use.

  • On-demand deployment has removed IT burden
  • Ease of use and customization has resulted in high-end user adoption.
  • Management now has 360 degree view of sales and revenue data.

Customizations:

    Opportunities, Cases, and Bug Tracking modules to support business processes and workflows.
