Rehosting Mainframe Workloads: Legacy Migration and Modernization Solutions From HP and Clerity | 2009-08-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| With today's emphasis on improving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Return On Investment (ROI), organizations must find new ways to decrease costs while maintaining functionality, meeting service level agreements, and mitigating risk. If business relies on mainframe systems, one may feel locked into a proprietary infrastructure with annual software, hardware, and support cost that are becoming increasingly less competitive. Yet the applications running on the mainframe are likely crucial to business. Many organizations are now taking the approach of moving valuable legacy applications to open systems server environments with greater economies of scale and increased business flexibility so that they can reduce overall expenditures and open up new opportunities for increased IT value.

Property Services Firm Implements CRM Tool, Generates Return on Investment in Less Than Three Months | 2009-08-01 | Microsoft |
| Low usability of the firm's existing SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application undermined user adoption. IT managers found the inflexible system prohibitively expensive to customize to individual business units. As a result, the solution was not used and salespeople lacked visibility into the activities of other business units. This led to "Friendly-fire" incidents, whereby multiple salespeople from different groups contacted customers and prospects - much to the irritation of everyone. Managers implemented Microsoft Dynamics CRM business software as the firm's sales force automation solution. User adoption increased nine-fold while friendly-fire incidents diminished. Customer satisfaction increased, client churn decreased, and salespeople increased cross-sales revenues along with their sales closure rate.

Raymond James Financial to Provide CRM Solution, Distribute Best-Practices Workflow | 2009-08-01 | Microsoft |
| Raymond James Financial employs over 3,000 financial advisors, 75 percent of whom are independent contractors. To attract and keep well-to-do clients, these advisors must apply sophisticated relationship building skills. Consequently, the use of CRM tools is ubiquitous at the firm. "As a company, we had over 2,000 discrete customer databases across heterogeneous platforms like ACT!, GoldMine, and Juncture CRM," says Shawn Tabor, Product Manager for CRM at Raymond James Financial. "Our advisors had no uniform way to document interactions with clients and we had no easy way to assist them with compliance issues or best practices processes." To meet its goals, the company chose to deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides the features, flexibility, and customer detail to optimize the effectiveness of financial advisors in deepening and capitalizing on their relationships with prospects and customers.
