Conventional CRM solutions often don't deliver on their promises and very rarely build extraordinary customer relationships for three reasons:
1) Sales and support people find them too cumbersome to use
2) It's too difficult to adapt them to the needs of your individual business
3) They are too expensive to put in the hands of every customer-facing employee.
The result: companies spend a lot of money on solutions that are unable to deliver complete views of the customer, have low adoption rates and are not fit for purpose to truly enable extraordinary customer relationships.
The biggest asset banks have in winning and retaining their customers their reputation for trustworthiness and stability. Trust for new financial services does not occur at the speed of technology. So how do banks leverage the existing relationships they have with their customers?
To keep pace with the market they need to constantly evaluate whether their financial system can meet the technology and data security needs. Also, changing regulatory requirements require banks to be compliant in terms of protecting their customer's sensitive data. Banks can no longer afford to use legacy systems that are ill equipped to deal with modern day requirements.

Only Sugar gives users the level of flexibility needed to truly create differentiated, winning customer experience strategies.
