CRM Idol 2011: The Polls Are Now Officially Open

Okay everyone, I'm going to have this as my only post or at least the one at the top of the page for the next 10 days through 6pm on October 31, 2011. What you see here is the 4 Americas and 3 EMEA finalist videos for CRM Idol 2011. We need you to pick the winner for each. One from America's and one from EMEA. This is a big deal. These contestants have worked long and hard to get to the finals and long and hard on their videos and 5 of the 7 aren't going to win. There are nearly a million dollars (estimated) in prizes, visibility etc. and a chance to help a small company with a vision, dream and a good solid approach and products/services to become more than just a small company in competition with others. And much of this can be up to you. So, here's what I'm asking you to do.

The Voting

I've posted all seven videos here. Please review them. Spend time with each. Then if you care to go further go to the links that I've posted underneath each of the videos and take a look at the supporting materials on the CRM Idol website. If you don't want to do that, no problem. Then vote. The voting form has a link at the bottom of the page. Just simply pick your Americas and EMEA winner. There are some additional questions we're asking to get a bit of profile of who is voting though the responses will remain anonymous. NP for not answering the additional questions. But PLEASE vote. You truly have the chance to impact a company's future.

I can see that all the finalist are targetting a single function/department and mainly SMEs. There is no CRM product which is a single platform for all the CRM needs of the organisation. In fact in the last decade inspite of 500+ new CRM products none have been able to compete against Oracle Siebel or a SAP for an ultra scalable CRM say in Bank or an Insurance company with 1000+ users. And though a lot has been written about CRM products and implementation, the fact remains that CRM implementation failure rates have remained consistently high.

At CRMnext we have developed a scientific way of impelmentation which can considerably increase the chances of delivering a High Impact CRM implementation.
