Strategic Account Profile Completed yearly – previous CRM solution only had capability to capture one profile – not as detailed and no way to review previous years Additional custom objects capture key details Available “real-time” Cognos report produces specific format with 7+ pages of detail
The Solution – Sales Visibility How is Salesforce used? Opportunity and pipeline management across product lines  Comprehensive and targeted campaigns Single system to review key customer information Mobile device access and Outlook integration for Account Managers and Customer Service Reps Call Reports and Strategic Account Profiles Strategic Account Profile by year Call Reports capture detailed site visits Executive and Region Dashboards Established easy-to-use metrics, including  “at-a-glance” usage and adoption dashboards System Integration Messaging Invoices Shipments Additional Oracle ERP integrations
Solution Summary Service and Support & Customer Portal in  QIS for QChat and BREW Service and support, sales force automation, marketing, custom applications for QES Integration with internal business systems, Cognos and planned integration with Oracle ERP  Migrated 130,000+ cases, and 100,000+ misc. records including activities and attachments Recent Deployment History 23  days for QES CE, 55 users (1 analyst) 2  weeks for QChat Service and Support with TIBCO integration (70 users) 1  week for QChat Customer Portal (1 analyst) 4  months for remaining QES - SFA, SSS, Custom Apps, TIBCO integration (200+ users) 2  months for QIS BREW - SSS (200 users) & Customer Portal (1,500+ users)
