DSelecting a CRM software suite:An art and a science

ESPITE YEARS OF maturation and consolidation, the market for CRM software remainsboth healthy and diverse.And while buyers of CRM systems have learned from the over-promising and

under-delivering of past years by vendors, integrators and consultants (not to men-tion the horror stories of massive, multi-million-dollar CRM implementation fail-ures), purchasing a CRM software suite remains complicated, expensive and poten-tially dangerous, not only to a company’s bottom line but to its ever-importantrelationship with its customers.The best practices for implementing and maintaining a CRM system have been

widely reported: Get executive-level sponsorship, foster user adoption, be carefulto monitor data quality, and treat the project as a strategic business initiative, nota chore for IT.However, selecting, negotiating and ultimately completing that initial purchase

demands a set of best practices of its own. In fact, many consultants and analystsagree that the initial business case for the project, if assembled carefully and com-prehensively, can ensure the success and continued health of a company’s CRMprogram.

ASSEMBLING THE TEAMOnce an organization has determined its interest in a CRM suite (whether on-premise software or an on-demand service) and found a senior executive from aline-of-business group to champion the project, it needs to form a selection team.“One of the reasons to have a team is [that] when you implement, you do it by

business scenarios,” said RayWang, vice president of research with Cambridge,Mass.-based Forrester Research Inc. “It’s easier to put together a team to talk aboutthe business processes you want to support—say campaign-to-lead.”CRM buyers should have one functional process lead for each area of the business,

Wang suggests. An organization with 100 employees or fewer will need the head ofsales or head of marketing. An organization of 20,000 employees might need a teamof 20 or 30.The team can help determine whether or not to begin the CRM project in sales,

service or marketing, and that’s an important step. Gone are the days of “big bang”CRM implementations, of rolling out across all three functional areas at once. Gone,too, are the days of small, tactical deployments with no view of the long term.What’s emerging is a new way of thinking about CRM.

Page 4: CRM software suite product directory

Five to seven years ago, companies were buying full CRM suites with completesales, service and marketing functionality, oftentimes with disastrous results. Thatled to a backlash of sorts, with organizations taking more of a tactical, piecemealapproach. For example, a company may have looked to a small module or best-of-breed tool to get a handle on a sales division or automate an email marketing cam-paign. Now, companies are still thinkingtactically but with an eye to the long-term strategic goals.The team should therefore include not

only a senior executive and representa-tives from IT but end users and thosewith a view of the business processesthat will be automated. It should alsoinclude someone from finance. Once inplace, the team can establish the busi-ness case.

BUILDING THE BUSINESS CASECRM is certainly not the only IT projectthat has been darkened by the specter offailure, according to Michael Smith,research vice president with Gartner Inc.,a Stamford, Conn.-based analyst firm.“Roughly 50% of all IT initiatives

struggle to achieve their originally statedobjective,” Smith told attendees at one ofGartner’s CRM summits. “Often, it’s notbecause of the technology. There’s a lackof understanding among common stake-holders about what the objectives are.”There’s a direct correlation between

taking the trouble to measure a CRMproject’s success and whether it actuallydoes succeed. Gartner research hasfound that companies that quantify andmeasure their CRM projects are moresuccessful with their initiatives. Accord-ing to a survey of 251 Gartner clients, themore measurement companies do, themore success they report. Of respon-dents that have created only a projectplan, 50% reported a successful implementation; 60% of those that did anROI analysis reported CRM success, and 70% that did a post-project review sawsuccess.

Eight steps to buildinga business case

1Develop a CRM strategy tosupport your business strategy.

2Select business metrics to supportyour CRM strategy. You don'tneed hundreds; four to six will do.

3 Establish a baseline for theseselected metrics before theproject begins, and if possible,benchmark performance againstindustry peers.

4Describe the desired capabilitiesand requirements of a CRMapplication.

5Negotiate targeted improvementsusing the baseline metrics.

6Convert the targeted improve-ments into financial results.

7Develop the TCO.

8Calculate the ROI.

Companies should plan on a15-week window for building thebusiness case, according to Smith.

Therefore, establishing the business case for a CRM purchase and trackingprogress along the way can help ensure that a company gets what it pays for fromCRM. Gartner suggests an eight-step process for building a CRM business case.

DON’T SWEAT THE RFPOrganizations should not place too much faith in the request for proposal (RFP)process, Wang suggests. Often, an organization will send out a detailed RFP with300 line items, and every vendor will respond saying, “We can do all of that.”“We try to help clients move out of the RFP process,” Wang said. “We give clients

Excel spreadsheets of how a vendor did well [in vendor rankings] and why. We don’tassume we know what the best solution is for every customer.”There are plenty of sample templates around,

and organizations can look to analyst firms forrankings like the Forrester Wave or the GartnerMagic Quadrant to supplement them.Of greater importance, according toWang, is

getting vendor sales reps to demonstrate theproduct and to ask about changes or customiza-tions during the presentation. This essentiallymakes vendor reps demonstrate and provewhether their system is as flexible and customiz-able as they claim.“In the middle, you say: ’We had a change in

plans or business model.’ Have them re-route aterritory,” Wang said. “It’s better than a spread-sheet. With the demo, they have to show thatfunctionality. Scenarios and demos are very important.”That’s another reason why it’s important to have people on the team who can rec-

ognize and present realistic challenges during a vendor demonstration.Naturally, seeing the product in action beyond just a demo is vital as well. On-

demand or Software as a Service (SaaS) applications provide a simple test environ-ment because they are run over theWeb—so a handful of marketers or sales repscan try them out. Large, on-premise installations require a proof of concept or pilottest before any contracts are signed.More and more frequently, the result of a well-planned business case is the selec-

tion of a full CRM suite rather than individual tools. For years, Forrester Research hasbeen telling companies to base their CRM technology buying decisions on processesand business need, but a study that Forrester conducted found that once the deci-sion has been made, firms are looking to suite or platform vendors.“The subtlety here is [that] early on, a lot of people bought the technology first

and didn’t figure out what they were going to do with it,” Forrester analyst Bill Bandtold SearchCRM.com. “Now, they’ve spent a lot of time on the business case andvision, but once they’ve done that, they tended to want to go to a platform.”

It’s important tohave people onthe teamwho canrecognize andpresent realisticchallengesduring a vendordemonstration.

Page 6: CRM software suite product directory

SERVICE PROVIDERSEnterprise service providers (ESPs) or consultants can make or break a project. In itsrecent court filings, Shane Co., a bankrupt jewelry retailer, blamed its situation on afailed implementation of SAP. A subsequent statement placed the responsibility noton the software vendor but on Shane management and an unnamed system integra-tion partner.While ESPs can certainly make an implementation easier, organizations need to be

careful how they use them, according to Gartner. Many respondents to Gartner’sCRM survey said they overspent on ESPs and became over-dependent on them toimplement the system and train staff.“We suggest you do more training up front before you begin an implementation,”

Smith said. “Take people who are using the solution and get them trained. Ratherthan have the ESP do implementation work, have those people who are running it dothe implementation, then backfill with people to do their jobs. At the end, you havepeople who are trained and understand how the system works.”

NEGOTIATING THE CONTRACTJust as CRM buyers need to be vigilant and collaborative when selecting an applica-tion that meets their business and IT goals, negotiating the contract also demandscare.It is with the initial contract that buyers have the most leverage. There are oppor-

tunities to get discounts and deals with upgrades, but winning those kinds of conces-sions proves much harder once a system is already in place.“With contract negotiation, the key thing is to make use of flex-ups, flex-downs

and to pay for maintenance upon deployment,” Wang said.With flex-ups, buyers need to protect the price point if they buy more licenses.

Flex-downs are equally important. For example, a company that buys 1,000 licensesbut winds up using only 500 won’t want to pay maintenance and support on the full1,000.CRM software vendors, particularly those selling full suites, encourage bundled

licensing by offering extra seats or modules beyond a company’s immediate needs inexchange for a discount.“We caution you against that,” Gartner’s Smith said. “Buy what you need for now.

You never know down the road if you’re going to want to look at an alternative.”With maintenance and support typically costing around 22% of license fees, after

four years of paying maintenance for unused licenses that were thrown into a deal,companies have essentially paid for those licenses anyway.Forrester offers a number of suggestions for companies writing out enterprise

software contracts, including: a written definition of user and usage metrics; writtendocumentation of how pricing is determined and how discounting price tiers are cal-culated; full disclosure of unknown defects and bugs that emerge and average timeto resolve by the vendor; and an examination of vendor financial records such asfinancial performance, cash position and pending legal actions.In addition, Forrester writes, beware of vendors adding costs when the purchaser

switches hardware, databases or operating systems. Buyers should be able to freelytransfer software licenses regardless of hardware or site.

SAAS VS. ON-PREMISE CONSIDERATIONSWhen it comes to SaaS CRM, hardware and site locations are not an issue, but thereare some considerations buyers need to take into account. While most SaaS prod-ucts are offered on a per-month, per-user basis, in reality, most vendors offer dis-counts for contracts of a year or longer. Forrester suggests seeking at least a 10%discount for contracts of a year or more.Also, when comparing SaaS to on-premise, a fair comparison is not one year or

two but a five- to seven-year period that reflects implementation, training, changemanagement, upgrades, hardware and bandwidth. Some buyers find surprises withSaaS bandwidth, storage and additional module fees, according to Forrester.Service-level agreements (SLAs) need to be monitored carefully as well. Most

contracts with SaaS vendors will include refunds for outages, but Forrester recom-mends that companies include loss-of-business metrics.“In SLAs, for downtime you typically get a month credit,” Wang said. “There’s a

business impact that people should talk about. If you lost a million dollars of busi-ness, what does one month get you?”Finally, while SaaS vendors typically face more stringent compliance, security, dis-

aster recovery and backup requirements than their customers’ own IT shops, buyersshould still demand proof via certifications or on-site data center evaluations, partic-ularly if they are making large purchases.

CONCLUSIONBuying CRM suites requires time, money and effort, but the results for organizationscan be well worthwhile. In fact, after the disappointments and failures of CRM’s earlyyears, many companies are finding real, measurable ROI from their CRM projectseither through increased sales, improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, or areduction in the cost of serving customers.

Collection of data for this directory took place in Q2 2008 with some updates in Q1 2009. As with any directory of this kind, productsand vendors may change substantially at any time. Though every effort was made to make this directory as complete and accurate aspossible, there may be changes, errors, omissions or vendors in this market not included in this guide. Nothing in this guide should beconstrued as endorsements, professional suggestions or advice. This directory should be used simply as a resource. We strongly urge youto supplement this with your own research and to contact vendors for the most up to date information about their companies or products.It is our intent to update this directory annually, but that is subject to change.
