Case Study: Covalent Technologies

Covalent needed a solution that could be customized and integrated with the existing legacy systems.

Problem:

• "Salesforce.com could not offer the flexibility to efficiently integrate with our core systems." (Ryan Lindsay)
• "The integration costs were astronomical." (Ryan Lindsay)

Solution:

• Jumpstart migration package: $3,000 service that transfers all customer information from existing CRM systems into SugarCRM.

  "We moved from salesforce.com to SugarCRM in less than three days," says Lindsay. "The SugarCRM team transferred 250,000 records and more than 100 custom fields from salesforce.com into Sugar Suite."

• Easy user adoption: Covalent executives estimate that the average rep took less than a day to become familiar and productive with Sugar Suite.
• Estimated savings: at least $20,000 annually.
