Evaluation Requirements
As experts in the evaluation of different CRM platforms for organizations, our methodology involves mapping the customer requirements to the standard set of functionalities available in the systems. Additionally, we also engage in identifying and evaluating our clients’ future needs that we anticipate based on their current ones to provide them with a platform that is equipped to meet the organization’s future demands. As a part of the process, Solutions Metrix also identifies some non-functional requirements that need to be evaluated during the process as critical to the success of different CRM projects. The following requirements, for instance, are established with the client and need to be prioritized:
- Ease of use (user experience/interface)

- Community support
- The financial strength of the vendor
- Software flexibility
- Deployment vendors
- Add-ons in the marketplace
