Soffront CRM Q&A

Ensim improves customer service with Soffront CRM

"Even with significant growth, we were able to actually increase customer satisfaction without having to hire additional support staff. We can directly attribute this to the implementation of Soffront Knowledge Base and self help tools.” 

Joe Ayyoub,
Director, Professional Services and Support

Ensim Corporation, (www.ensim.com) the Sunnyvale, California-based global leader in Web-hosting automation solutions, is positioning itself to become a major player in the software industry. Ensim provides solutions to service providers to help them market and sell hosting services to small and medium-sized businesses. 

But along with dramatic growth comes challenges, unless a company has conscientiously prepared in advance. One of the major challenges companies can face when confronted with quick expansion is how to effectively meet the onslaught of customer service issues. The challenge was to improve customer service even with dramatic customer growth -- without incurring additional cost.

Ensim selected Soffront because of its web-based functionality, flexibility and the integrated suite. Soffront CRM was installed in April of 2001 and has already demonstrated significant return on investment.

Soffront CRM Q&A
 

Question What is a floating license? Why is it better than a named user license?

Answer: 
A floating license operates based on the number of concurrent users. It does not care about who the particular user is. Where as in a named user model, a license is dedicated to every user. Obviously, floating licenses offer the flexibility to share licenses with a pool of users and thereby reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Floating licenses reduce the number of licenses required by a factor of 2 to 3.

A typical installation needs a combination of both floating and named licenses - named licenses for the administrator/manager who needs unfettered access and floating licenses for occasional users. 
 

Soffront offers both floating and named user licenses. This gives the twin advantages of unfettered access and reduced TCO.

Soffront CRM Q&A 

QuestionIs there a way to define conditional required fields? To illustrate, if the country is USA or Canada, the State field is required. In other cases, it is optional.

 Answer: 
Yes. Define 'State' as a 'Required' field and then qualify it further by providing a condition. 

Lets assume that you have State and Country as fields in a table 'Contacts'. Here's the sequence of steps to make the 'State' field as conditional:
1. From Track, open the Contacts form using the Forms Manager
2. Select the 'State' field and click 'Field Definition' from the Edit menu
3. Check the 'Required field' option to make it a required field.
4. Now click on the Formula button. This brings up the Formula dialog.
5. Specify the condition in the 'Where' edit box. For the example mentioned above, the condition will be provided as "Country = USA,CANADA" 
6. Click 'OK' to finish.
