Any comment? ]]> Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:49:10 CEST Francesca all 1 http://www.crowdengineering.com/blog/story.php?title=take-socialcrm-and-crush-your-competitors-with-it- http://www.crowdengineering.com/blog/story.php?title=mobile-and-social-crm-increase-sales-force-productivity Nucleus surveyed 223 CRM decision makers, analyzing deployments of both vendors in the CRM Value Matrix and niche CRM vendors in the United States and Europe. Respondents included small, medium, and large enterprises using both on-demand and on-premise CRM applications.
The report claims that providing sales people with mobile device access to CRM drives a 14.6 percent productivity increase, and adding social drives an additional 11.8 percent productivity boost.

How long will it takes before companies adopting social tools to improve their business performance becomes a rule??

And you? Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?

This is the opinion of Adam Sarner, a research director at Gartner, covering the global CRM industry. He will discuss the drivers, technology and multiple use cases for social CRM at the Gartner Customer 360 Summit to be held in Orlando, Fl. 14-16 March 2012, where CrowdEngineering will be a key guest in the event.

Oscar De La Renta has embraced crowsourcing inviting consumers to become a part of his creative process by launching a virtual pinboard open for anyone to post their ideas to. The project is called 'The Board', a platform which everyone inspirations is called in order to help the stylist in designing a new collection. This kind of initiatives are not only increasing number of accesses, but involving customers in the brand and in the entire process of the collection, from concept to sales trail.

What do you think about this kind of initiatives?

In which other industry do you think that crowdsourcing could be successfully employed?
