10 of the Best Free Linux CRM Software
For a profit-making business to be successful, the customer
must rank as the most important part of the chain. After all, without
customers the business would not even exist.
In simple terms, Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
represents the way an organisation keeps track with its existing and
potential future customers. CRM software offers the means to support
these processes. This type of software stores information about
customers. But its functionality far extends that of say a traditional
database. It also allows companies to measure and control contacts with
customers, to provide the flexibility to get the right information to
the
right individual at the right time.
The purpose of this article is to focus on software which
helps to improve the level of service provided
by a firm to its customers, as well as to maximise the organisation's
profitability.
To provide an insight into the quality of software that is
available, we have compiled a list of 10 high quality free Linux CRM
software. Hopefully, there will be something of interest for anyone who
wishes to enhance their organisation's efficiency.
Now, let's explore the CRM applications at hand. For each
