What Are Examples of Case Management?

If there’s something that unites healthcare, law firms, educators, and business professionals, it’s case management. Essentially, case managers are subject matter experts, navigators, and confidants who can deliver their expertise on a complex issue and unwind the tangle.

Is There Any Free CRM Software?

Are your sales teams still working on tables and spreadsheets? Do you still use emails and other conventional means to keep track of your team’s progress? Well, if this is true for your business, it is a sign of danger.

What is the difference between ERP and CRM software?

Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planning are, naturally, related technologies. CRM is all about driving your business towards a customer-focused approach. ERP is much more about taking a financial and logistics oriented view over your organisation operates.

The two fields of CRM and ERP are not incompatible. The opposite is actually the case. More often than not they can complement one another.

Why Are Standards In Technology Important?

As the world simultaneously tackles health crises, social crises and economic crises, this might seem an impossible question to answer. I would argue that a major priority is to stay informed about the facts and different points of view with respect to the facts.

We need to hold our governments to high standards just like we need to ensure the quality of our food and water reach hygiene standards.

In this regard, technology is no different. It too needs to be standards-centric. We also need to know that the right experts have inspected the quality of the source code. This means independent experts, not just those chosen and paid by the authors to assure the quality, security and reliability of the execution. So technology being open source helps a lot too.
