HydraNet Takes On Salesforce.com, Upshot and Salesnet With $50,000 Incentives Vancouver, B.C., June 17, 2003 11:05 AM PST -- HydraNet Corporation announced credits of $500 to $50,000 to companies interested in upgrading from Salesforce.com, Upshot, or Salesnet to CRM-gx. "Today marks a turning point in the CRM industry," said Dan Webb, Managing Director of HydraNet. "If your company is using Salesforce.com, Upshot, or Salesnet, the cost to your organization is suprisingly more than you think." HydraNet CRM-gx, introduced in December 2002, has won acclaim for its revolutionary new user interface that yields higher adoption rates, requires less training, and eliminates a key factor behind most failed CRM initiatives: the burden of data entry. "Ninety percent of the cost of CRM is the time your workforce spends learning, operating, and entering data into the CRM system," says Webb. "Some companies find themselves wasting 30% of their workday on CRM-related data entry tasks." HydraNet backs up their claim to a better user interface with client studies showing that the average CRM user spends 33 minutes each day on data entry and manipulation, compared to less than 5 minutes per day with CRM-gx. "If your users are wasting 30 minutes a day, that's a monthly productivity loss of about $70,000/month for an average 100 user implementation," says Webb. "By switching to CRM-gx you can cut that time by 85% and gain better upside from our more advanced reporting tools." HydraNet's Webb says he believes it's time for management to consider the hidden operating costs of their existing systems and reassess strategies. "With the nominal license fees of a CRM system running at about 1/10th the real operating cost, companies should conduct a careful cost-benefits analysis and cut their losses when systems aren't delivering on the promise." Demand for CRM-gx among small and midsize firms has been fueled by the need for an inexpensive, easily customized ASP CRM solution. The latest version includes high-end features like user configurable workflow, on-the-fly invoice and estimate generation, real-time inventory tracking, custom reporting, campaign management, and 360° customer analysis. The latest campaign is targeted at companies using Salesforce.com, Upshot, or Salesnet, and is scheduled to continue until until August 31st. HydraNet will offer credits based on the number of licenses in their existing CRM implementation. The credit schedule is as follows:
"We recognize the risks and costs involved in changing CRM vendors, and these credits are designed to offset the risk companies face when considering this change," said Susan Winter, Senior VP of Business Development for HydraNet. The credit applies to any license fees, roughly the equivalent of 3 months free usage. There is no obligation.
