Customer relationship management (CRM) is one of the most important tools for businesses today. In the last few years cloud technology has revolutionized the way data is stored and shared. CRM vendors have adopted the cloud to their systems, making for a more efficient program. Akhilesh Kumar Nandwana, vice president of business applications at Synoptek, shares an article on My Tech Decisions why you should implement a cloud-based CRM for your business. Here are a few key cloud CRM benefits for any business.
Know what makes your audience ‘tick’ – “It is essential for your marketing team to know their audience in order to create content that they will engage with. With a CRM system in place, customer data is collected and presented from a companywide view including omnichannel touchpoints.”
Send the right message at the right time – “Segmented audiences now held within your CRM system, can be leveraged by your teams to deliver personalized and targeted marketing messages. Sending the right message to the right customer at the right time will reinforce a strong message of understanding and Marketing campaign engagement rates will increase.”
Manage marketing preferences – “Key system automations and workflows will clean your data sets for you, reducing the probability of human error. Should a customer opt-out of marketing communication, the system will deal with this accordingly. Invalid email addresses are removed automatically from data segments using CRM. Further ensuring that the data your team is working from, is as clean and reliable as it possibly can be.”
Knowing what works – “Marketing campaigns and their associated success will feed your company’s CRM system with valuable insights. Marketing messaging sent to customers will be tracked and analyzed to determine future segmentation. The system is constantly collecting data, using it to make informed data-driven decisions.”
Forbes writer Joel Patterson has been in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) industry for more than twenty years, and has learned the important role business software plays in successful firms. No two companies have the same needs so no two ERP systems can offer the same capabilities. Patterson shares an article describing the best approach to utilizing the best ERP system by evaluating the firm’s past, present and future goals. Per the article, he asks business owners to ask themselves the following questions:
Once you consider the answers/needs to these questions, Patterson believes you can plan for a better ERP system in place at your business. One important key is having the right team behind you (i.e. your IT department and your implementation partner). Adjusting to a new ERP system is a trying process, so it’s important to work with a team you can trust, have easy communication with, and can understand your unique business needs. The right ERP system can be a game changer for your business so choosing and implementing will take time.
Disabling a user in ISS vs LSA is pretty straight forward, however there are differences explained below.
When disabling a user in Lawson ISS, there is no “IsDisabled” field under the LSF tab as seen below:
So when disabling a user in ISS, you simply go to the top left and click on “Disable Actor”:
Once the page loads, search for the user again and you’ll notice the Disable Actor button is now called “Enabled Resource” (this is how you re-enable a user in ISS):
In LSA, you simply query the user >> Edit RM Information and set the “is disabled?” field to YES or NO:
The one advantage of disabling a user in LSA over ISS is that when you run certain user reports (custom or native), the disabled field actually shows YES or NO. This can be helpful to know when reviewing user security or running audits. (This can change in the future so please note this may not be the case anymore after this articles date).
