Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2010 -- Intelestream, Inc., the leader in open source CRM consulting, today announced the company has successfully implemented the award-winning on-demand CRM application intelecrm™ for Buy Owner.

Background and Business Challenge

Buy Owner needed to better manage its sales strategy across the nation. The company had several separate CRM systems – one for each regional office. The lack of a centralized system resulted in information silos, an inability to effectively see the ‘big picture’, and difficulties developing effective sales strategies.

The company contacted Intelestream for a CRM solution that could integrate their sales force while matching their business processes. Intelestream and Buy Owner determined together that intelecrm would best be suited to accomplish these goals.
Solution

- Intelestream implemented a single on-demand instance of intelecrm for the company’s entire nationwide sales force. The application’s only requirement is that users have an Internet connection and a web browser. It can be accessed anywhere in the world and no software is necessary.

- Intelestream trained all users and encouraged user adoption by tweaking the application to match the company’s specific sales processes while reducing click flow.

- With the intelecrm Superfast Screen™, the Buy Owner sales team can very quickly access the data they need, without extra clicks.
Business Value Realized

- The configuration of the intelecrm Premium Edition’s user interface gave employees an intuitive, easy-to-use application capable of helping users in multiple regional offices.

- Buy Owner now has the ability to report on a variety of metrics across the organization, helping the company develop all encompassing sales strategies that generate more revenue for the company.

"Intelestream's team of developers has been sensitive to understand the specific vision for our company in the short, medium and long term. Their process for development, implementation and troubleshooting support has been smooth and timely. Most importantly, intelecrm delivers the power, ease of use and capacity for growth to directly impact our bottom line performance," states Brian Weiner, General Manager at Buy Owner Chicago.

“The Buy Owner business model is heavily centered around the concept of Customer Relationship Management. The company truly grasps CRM and does it well, which is why Buy Owner continues to thrive after nearly two decades of being in business. The fact that intelecrm has successfully met their needs is a great testament to our product and its future” states Ray Stoeckicht, Vice President of Consulting Services at Intelestream..
