 What is CRM?
 For sales and marketing For sales managers,
CRM cloud apps provide real-time visibility into
their team’s activities so they can forecast
sales with confidence. For sales reps, CRM
cloud apps make it easy to manage customer
information so reps spend less time handling
data and more time with customers.

 For marketers, nothing is more important than
tracking the sales that result from leads
generated through marketing campaigns on
your Web site, in email, or with Google
AdWords. CRM cloud apps let marketers track
leads and sources, route leads to the right
salespeople in real time, and provide the
analytics to see what’s working and what can
be improved.

 For customer service
 Your customers have questions about your
products. Today, they might go to Google or
Twitter to look for answers and only contact
your call center if they can’t find what they
need. To deliver stellar customer service, you
need to connect all the conversations that
happen on social networks with the internal
knowledge your agents use every day. That
way, your customers get answers fast and are
happy. And it costs you less

 CRM Cloud Platform
 CRM cloud apps need to be easy to use for
sales, marketing, and service professionals in
any industry. That’s why smart companies rely
on a CRM platform that gives them complete
freedom to customize CRM for their business.
It’s the best way to boost adoption and make
sure your CRM apps are working the way you
do.

 CRM Cloud Infrastructure
 Successful CRM customers rely on a proven, trusted
infrastructure—the servers and software in a data
center—for running their CRM applications. For CRM to
work effectively, it must have three characteristics:
 High reliability – uptime that exceeds 99.9%
 High performance – data access in less than 300 ms
 High security – industry certifications such as ISO27001
and SAS 70 Type II
 An effective CRM infrastructure is based on
multitenancy: multiple customers sharing common
technology and all running on the latest release, much
like Amazon.com or Google. With multitenancy, you don’t
have to worry about application or infrastructure
upgrades—they happen automatically. In fact,
multitenancy lets companies focus on managing CRM,
not managing technology.
