Sage CRM – Additional Features
Thin Client Architecture
As a browser based application SageCRM (formerly Accpac CRM) is built on thin technology, providing rapid deployment, efficiency, speed and cost effectiveness. SageCRM is installed on a single server, eliminating the need for unpredictable and costly client installations, configurations, upgrades, customizations and the costs associated with them. Thin network-designed SageCRM Web pages and graphics are considerably smaller in size than standard Web pages, allowing faster downloads even over slow connections. With Sage CRM, a Web browser and Internet access is all that you need to access the entire solution, anywhere, anytime.
Automated Process Workflow
With SageCRM Workflow businesses can automate pre-determined business rules across all channels, departments and employees. To help assess and design workflow SageCRM provides graphical views of the process and its development patterns. In combination with e-mail integration, workflow ensures that actions requiring attention or escalation are automatically being routed to the correct employees or partners. SageCRM creates a confidence among employees that issues are not going to fall through the cracks and frees their time to perform more important tasks.
Customizability
SageCRM provides customization tools that allow businesses to rapidly modify all aspects of the system. SageCRM’s open architecture greatly reduces development and maintenance costs and allows seamless integration with other mission-critical applications across your enterprise. With easy-to-use, onscreen tools, managers and administrators can create and modify fields, screens, tabs, tables, views, scripts, and security settings on the fly. SageCRM customization functionality allows quick-and-easy user-specific modifications to interfaces and data and ensures Accpac CRM can be easily adapted to your business requirements.

Full on-screen auto-dial and phone functionality allows your support staff to perform necessary tasks through the system interface rather than the phone system. SageCRM provides full integration to all standard third party telephony software leveraging existing automation such as call escalation, routing, call queuing and reporting functionality.
