Committee Membership

New application: Malik, Inc. Basil Malik basil@malik-inc.com Tulsa OK It looks like they/he are a Sage CRM firm and it looks like @ShawnSlavin may know of the firm since CS3 is listed as a client.

Basil is a very bright guy and in my opinion, his previous employer made a mistake letting him go. He is a tremendous regional CRM resource on Sage CRM. We currently work with Basil and bring our customers to him anytime they have a CRM need. He has always delivered on-time and on-target. I am not just voting for him but actively promote his candidacy.

Appreciate the reference @ShawnSlavin, sounds like a great addition to our group. A little concerned that we are light on CRM questions and issues though. Does our group have enough CRM activity to hold Basil's interest or are we looking at a potential new evangelist that can expand this area for the group?

@MoiraGoggin I'm drafting an email to Basil making sure he understands that and verifying that he's still interested.

Basil's response: Basil Malik <basil@malik-inc.com> Good afternoon, Robert, Thank you very much for the additional context associated with becoming a member and what specifically you're looking for in a Sage CRM consultant. It's funny that you're looking specifically for someone to work with Sage 100 consultants and partners as the native integration between the two is something I've found a way of extending and understanding front to back. I'm not sure if you're on LinkedIn, but to give you an idea of my current capacity for the Sage 100/Sage CRM here's a post I just pushed to my network. Please note that I have zero intention of promoting the consulting that I'm doing regarding extending the integration between the two systems. I'm simply using my current, for a lack of a better word obsession with the two products. I've found additionally that Sage 300 serves to benefit from a similar extension of the native integration as well. The integrated data from 300 isn't held within Sage CRM natively, and I've found that bringing the data from Sage 300 into a Sage CRM field creates tremendous value and reporting capabilities. With that said I'm very happy to build relationships with Sage 100 consultants as well as share my understanding of the connectivity between Sage 100 and Sage CRM. If there's an opportunity to add to the content of Sage CRM to extend the knowledge of the product, I'm also more than happy to do that as well. Hopefully that wasn't too much of a novel. :) I'm looking forward to hearing back from you regarding the above. Until then, take care and I hope you're having and continue to have a fantastic day. Regards,

Have not heard of the company prior to this, I would vote Yes based on Shawn's recommendation.
