CRM Integration Equals Better Cross-Team Collaboration

Having a customer relationship management (CRM) system implemented is the heart of a business. Integrating your CRM properly is how to take advantage of the entire system to benefit your business. But what exactly is CRM integration? Karl Laughton, president and chief operating officer at Insightly, defines is as the management of your entire company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers to help build relationships, improve customer experience, increase sales, and improve profit margins. A truly integrated CRM system will save you time, money and garner significant returns. Laughton shares an article on Destination CRM explaining how CRM integration aides in better cross-team collaboration. When you integrate CRM with the tools used across your organization, he says you can expect increased customer understanding, reduced manual processes, and improved reporting. CRM integration benefits your business as a whole, with some areas benefitting more than others, according to Laughton:

Finance and accounting. “Integrating the tools your finance team lives in can free them from constant toggling back and forth. Reporting becomes much simpler when your financial apps are integrated with your CRM.”

Human resources. “HR can use CRM integrations to talent management platforms like Greenhouse, to automate referrals, schedule interviews, and gather interview feedback.”

IT and operations. “IT integrations can help detect problems and proactively initiate incident resolution processes. Users can stay up to date with real-time communications via chatbots and collaboration tools like Slack.”

Sales and marketing. “Sales and marketing already share goals, so keeping them integrated in the same tools just makes sense.”

5 Key Technology Trends From MWC 2022

While the COVID-19 pandemic may have slowed us down in recent years, the future of tech seems to going full steam ahead. Daniel Newman, principal analyst of Futurum Research and CEO of Broadsuite Media Group, shares on Forbes some key technology trends showcased at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022 in Barcelona.

5G Expansion from Chips to Networks. “Qualcomm set the stage with a number of 5G ecosystem announcements and upgrades including its Snapdragon X70 chipset. The new chip now supports a 5G AI processor and integrated 5G Modem-RF system for unparalleled speed and network efficiency. The SnapdragonX70 Mobile-RF System will also support 5G 4-carrier and sub-6 aggregation in addition to dual-SIM and DSDA capabilities.”

Impressive Laptops Take Center Stage. “Tech companies look to bring increased portability and productivity to consumers who are working in hybrid environments with laptops. Samsung announced its new Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro which will feature upgraded webcams, HD resolution and a deeper integration with other Samsung products making it easier to switch between devices. Lenovo announced its new ThinkPad X13, developed in collaboration with Qualcomm and Microsoft. This sleek laptop will be powered by Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 compute platform.”

Metaverse? Not Yet. “Most of the telcos present at MWC didn’t have any major plans for the new technology in the coming year. However, in the Qualcomm booth, visitors were able to don Occulus headsets and jump into the virtual world with Wooorld VR. Avatars allow people to be anywhere in the world together, regardless of their physical location.”

Impressive Automotive Debuts. “With 5G technologies continuing to evolve, we are going to see more connected cars and autonomous cars on the road in the coming years. Qualcomm unveiled the latest iteration of its Snapdragon digital chassis that now includes cloud-as-a-service and upgraded WiFi capabilities.”

Underlying Theme of Sustainability. “Several companies made sustainability one of their key messages for the week speaking to how their technologies will enable greener futures. Other booths featured greenery and real plants that underpinned missions for sustainability.”
