11 40 43 N W We chose iscala CRM in order to support our market activities we work in parallel on several comprehensive projects. We have been using software from Scala since 1995 while our headquarters use SAP, but for cost reasons we have decided to stay with Scala. We work with a huge amount of information to be able to process and analyze this would considerably support the work of our management and of our colleagues. That is what I expect from iscala CRM. For NJF we decided to implement a CRM solution that could help us gain better visibility and accountability for our customer service processes. Our current Microsoft Excel-based solution with a simple SQL database got too difficult to handle and was limiting future business expansion. We found it necessary to gain up-to-date information out of the system, to harmonize and to record the sales team s activities. CRM serves as a tool for the management to control and follow the performance of the project pipeline. Csaba János Nagy, General Manager of Umicore - Hungary
