Known as Smaps, this is a current development project in association with our business partners, IcatchIT Inc. www.icatchit.com which involves the creation of an integration between Google Maps and Sage CRM.

In practical terms, this link allows for focused marketing and sales force management efforts aimed at the overlap of CRM Company or Person contacts and geography. This can benefit both mobile workers and managers as they can see at a glance a map with full contact information.

Sage CRM version 6.2 delivers a comprehensive range of new capabilities and enhancements that are designed to enrich the Sage CRM user and ownership experience significantly. Highlights include:

In more than a quarter of managers now believe online networking sites like Facebook, LinkIn and MySpace are a vital business tool, according to a survey conducted by Konica Minolta.

Unsurprisingly, the research showed younger managers are leading the way,with a third of managers under 40 embracing the use of such sites, compared to only 16 per cent pf those over that age. Australian brands are already represented on social networking websites include Breville, CRM Works, Time Tams, Vegemite and Victa.

Using advance ASP development tools, iCatchIT has developed a third-party application for Sage CRM. An integration of Google Maps into the Sage CRM, SMaps gives mobile workers the advantage to optimize their sales and marketing resources. SMaps presents mobile workers a graphical presentation of how far-reaching or constricted their sales and marketing networks are.

The brain of any website is the code that creates the structure. The structure of the website is influenced by the technology used to create it. That could be XHTML, XML, Web 2.0, or others that we use at iCatchIT that are industry standards.

But the quality of your site is not determined solely by the code; good code determines performance, stability, and maintainability, among other things – things you may not see at first.
