Reclaiming the Most Precious Resource: A Time-Aware CX Platform

“Lost time is never found again.” -Benjamin Franklin

There’s a good reason that time is an obsession with some of history’s most quotable figures.

Defining features of the advance of human civilization centers around time: how to measure it, how to manage it, and how to resist misconceptions like “having all the time in the world.”

Though nobody can stop the flow of time, what we can do is manage our time more effectively to get the most out of every day. In the ever-accelerating digital marketplace, the efficient use of time is more important than ever. Businesses strive to become more agile, quick to address opportunities, and implement innovative technologies at a faster pace than ever before. Focusing on (and trying to improve) productivity is one of the biggest predictors of a company’s success.

High productivity frees up more time to focus on optimizing the essentials of your business, implementing effective plans for leveraging your resources, and modernizing operations. By reducing the time previously wasted on non-optimized activity, it enhances your company’s profile and, ultimately, your revenue. The constructive use of time can be that crucial edge making your organization stand out from competitors. No matter your industry, that distinction is perhaps more challenging than ever before.

Fortunately, today’s businesses have a new ally in the quest to maximize their productivity: SugarCRM. A time-aware CX platform, enhanced by
