The company’s CRM applications are designed for mid-market organizations as well as divisions or departments of larger organizations who prefer a pay-as-you-go subscription purchase that includes all IT and support staffing instead of the high-dollar capital outlay for a software license and the additional funds required for implementation consulting services and the hiring of additional IT or support resources.
