Maximizer Software Wins ISM "Top 15 CRM Small & Medium Business Software Award" for fourth consecutive year
Maximizer Software Inc., a leading provider of proven and affordable customer relationship management (CRM) and contact management solutions, today announced that ISM Inc., CRM strategic advisors, has selected the Company's 'Maximizer Enterprise' software as a winner of the "Top 15 CRM Small & Medium Business Software Award" for 2006. This is the fourth consecutive year ISM has selected Maximizer Software to its list of top CRM vendors.
"With the recent release of Maximizer Enterprise 9, Maximizer Software continues to provide what small and medium-sized businesses need - proven, powerful customer relationship management software that can be deployed very quickly," said Barton Goldenberg, President, ISM. "ISM congratulates Maximizer Software on its more than ten years of experience helping growing businesses achieve success with the help of CRM technology."
Maximizer Enterprise was selected from dozens of CRM software packages, which were tested by the ISM Software Lab at its Bethesda, Md.-based headquarters. Each package was rated according to a comprehensive list of evaluation criteria, including 110 business functions, 49 technical features, and 17 user support features. As part of the evaluation process, ISM also conducts a survey of first-hand users of the various products tested - asking them to describe their experiences deploying, administering and everyday use of the system. A key element of the user survey includes the total cost of ownership and time required to get the system up and running.
"Everyone on the Maximizer Software team is very proud to be honored with this prestigious distinction for the fourth consecutive year," said Tom Bennett, Office of the President and Chief Technology Officer, Maximizer Software. "Maximizer Enterprise 9 is designed to support the full sales automation, marketing, customer service and support requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises - including business intelligence and access via the most popular wireless hand held PDA devices. This award further reinforces our commitment to innovation and spanning the gap between our customers' business requirements and our technical capabilities."
