4. Hosted and merged solutions are becoming more and more popular, especially with larger companies
 
These companies are finding specific advantage in shorter implementation time and the ability to customize solutions while not having to worry about application and infrastructure management. As well as being able to offer employees the flexibility to access the system information from wherever they may be.
 
5. New tack-ons make it so that information doesn’t just live with marketing anymore but helps each sales rep to understand their own campaigns.
 
With the latest CRM software, it is possible to gather, analyze and extract all sorts of information so messages are communicated to the right audience and better sales leads and management of direct marketing campaigns can occur.
