Improving Communications Across the Company
With employees in more than 30 offices and 250 independent alliance firm locations nationwide, BDO Seidman plans to use an on-premise version of Sugar Professional to manage the distributed interactions taking place among and between BDO Seidman and its Alliance Members. Using SugarCRM, employees and Alliance Members will be able to share leads, manage sales opportunities, coordinate activities, and generate reports from the SugarCRM system.
“Our CRM requirements are quite complex because of the size of the project and the different members who will be accessing the system.
