CRM software (CRM stand for Customer Relationship Management), is a broad term that covers concepts used by organizations to manage their relationships with customers, including collecting, storing and analyzing customer information.
This provides support to “front office” business processes / teams, including sales, marketing and service. Each interaction with a customer is generally added to a customer’s contact history, and staff can retrieve and update information on customers from the database as necessary.
Data gathered on customers can be used to determine how a customer is handled. Data may include profitability, contact history and products purchased. Staff members are able to access this data when servicing customers or making a sales pitch.
AIMPromote makes small business focus more on sales and less on learning software. They get rid of all the confusion and provides a solution that can be implemented with quickness and ease. With traditional CRM software applications most companies have to overcome a steep learning curve, and fight internal pressures by their sales team against adoption. Studies have shown that most features in CRM software applications are typically unused, and have little real-world application or benefit. You can try their fully featured 14-day trial period.
These will boost and small business out there because covers the direct interaction with customers. This can include a variety of channels, such as the Internet, whether through a website or e-mail, or automated telephone systems. It can generally be equated with “self serviceâ€. One of the latest trends in collaborative CRM is behavioral emarketing which is focused on building an ongoing relationship with customers through online mediums (emails, RSS Feeds, XML, Vlogs, Blogs, etc.).

Windows Vista Sells 40M Licenses In 100 Days
OMG!
Microsoft credits consumers shift to the digital lifestyle with creating the fastest selling operating system in history.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) — Microsoft has sold nearly 40 million Windows Vista licenses in the first 100 days that the latest version of the operating system has been available, Chairman Bill Gates said Tuesday.Gates said an accelerating consumer shift to digital lifestyles had helped make the operating system the fastest selling in history, and that premium editions have accounted for 78 percent of Vista sales.
Windows operating systems run on more than 95 percent of the world’s computers and represent the Redmond, Washington-based company’s biggest profit driver.
Vista, which Microsoft introduced on Jan. 30, also marks the first major operating system upgrade in more than five years from the world’s biggest software maker.
During a speech in Los Angeles, Gates said the company named its next-generation Windows Server software — formerly known as “Longhorn” — Windows Server 2008.
Windows Server is the server operating system equivalent to the Vista PC operating system, with an emphasis on many of the same features, such as better security.
Microsoft (up $0.17 to $31.04, Charts, Fortune 500), which controlled an estimated two-thirds of the global server software maker in 2006, has said the product is on track for a debut in the second half of 2007.
The company also said three new hardware manufacturers — Gateway (down $0.05 to $1.78, Charts), Lacie (Charts) and Medion (Charts) — plan to build products for Windows Home Server.
That software is aimed at helping families with multiple PCs easily centralize, share and protect digital content, such as pictures, music, documents and videos.
So that means there are 40M people who aware of how buggy Windows Vista is?!

Online Back Up?
Posted by Nico Yan in Uncategorized Monday, 28 May 2007 12:44 No Comments
A remote, online, or managed backup service is a service that provides users with an online system for backing up and storing computer files. Managed backup providers are companies that provide this type of service.
Online backup systems are typically built around a client software program that runs on a schedule, typically once a day. This program collects, compresses, encrypts, and transfers the data to the remote backup service provider’s servers. Other types of product are also available in the market, such as remote continuous data protection (CDP).
Providers of this type of service frequently target specific market segments. High-end LAN-based backup systems may offer services such as near-realtime transaction-level replication or open file backups. Consumer online backup companies frequently have beta software offerings and/or free-trial backup services.
One of the company that offers these kind of service is IDrive-E, it is offers free (up to 2GB)/pro (unlimited space), secure (encrypted with 256 bit AES) and fast service. I’ve tested their free service, I’ve been able to upload pictures, files and other documents. You can access your files, also upload, using their software. A user can also upgrade to Pro which gives unlimited storage space suited for small business who wants to have a secure access to files whenever and wherever they are.

Windows Live OneCare 1.6
Posted by Nico Yan in Uncategorized Saturday, 26 May 2007 14:42 No Comments
Im not a fan of Windows but the Windows Live products is like no other. Thought the downside of this application is that you need to purchase it. With Windows Defender and OneCare running side by side be assured that you’ll have a secured pc.
After discussion last week that Windows Live OneCare 1.6 had been released, it is now available to all users from onecare.live.com. Users already running OneCare will be upgraded over the next few weeks, however you may prefer not to wait.
Changes in 1.6 include the ability to disable the firewall permanently (Firewall – Firewall Advanced Settings – Managing and Sharing) or for a certain period of time (slide the firewall slider to the bottom) as well as a monthly report of firewall activity available from the OneCare dashboard.
OneCare also improved its performance in the virus scan test which saw it placed last back in February, showing that as promised, the team is putting more work into the OneCare detection. Unfortunately it is still ranked 14th out of 17 products tested. Technical details of the test are available from ComputerWorld (via Donna).
No sign yet of the OneCare 2.0 beta, but as always if you have any support issues with OneCare, head over to the Windows Live OneCare forums.
If your not a fan of Windows, then I recommend Eset NOD32. I got them both running. Both have low resource and small.

The most valueable tool in the web is a search engine. In the search engine industry Google is leading so far. Though Google is like a universal search engine, there a couple of search engines that go for specifics.
I stumble upon a houston SEO site, which focus on PPC or payperclick, or should I say on online marketing stuffs.
In my opinion search engines like this should help problogger and advertisers coexist, both earning, Apogee Search help avoid search engine marketing malpractice. This gives probloggers a place to search for those really good PPC services and know about them too, they have these Apogee search blog that gives news and information in the world of online marketing and PPC.
You should try visiting them.
