Sage CRM

Has anyone seen an integration between Sage CRM and Infor? I know Infor has, what use to be, Saleslogix as their integrated CRM. I have a prospect looking at Sage CRM but now says they would like to have it integrated. To what level they want it integrated, I don't know. They weren't too interested in paying for us to develop something new. They were looking to see what others have already done.

Fisher Technologies was and possibly still is a leading authority on Saleslogix. You might want to email Nicole and see if she knows of this integration. nicole@fisher-technology.com

I think Todd's talking about integrating to one of the Infor ERP packages. Infor has a strong and getting stronger integration between most of its ERP's and Infor CRM (fka Saleslogix). The integration protocol is very similar to SData, which Sage CRM did a pretty full implementation, so it's possible. That said, if your prospect is now using Infor ERP but doesn't have Sage CRM yet, they'd be crazy to arbitrarily decide to not use Infor CRM. Infor CRM is all web based, has strong functionality in most areas. They should do a 3-yr TCO on Infor CRM first. If it doesn't do the job, then look to something else. Frankly, if they are a good fit for Infor ERP - larger than most Sage 100 customers - then Infor CRM is a decent fit. If this is an older Infor ERP customer, on the smaller end, they should take a hard look at whether Infor is an appropriate fit for their ERP! That company is becoming very expensive for customers on its smaller end. The functionality it's been adding is all aimed at more sophisticated customers, IMO.

Jerry, that is exactly the info I needed. I think they are one of the older ERP customer's. At least it sounded like it. Infor crm is one of the packages they are looking at.

If I were you, I'd try to arrange a demo with Acumatica -- just to open their eyes to what's out there. If they agree to put their ERP system up for review, you can work with them. Otherwise, heartache! There are several 90 Minders who could help you with an Acumatica intro. You could use this as perhaps a trial run at being an independent ERP advisor, not having a dog in the fight. Just a thought.
