Pythagoras wins contract with Think London to deploy Microsoft CRM
Maidenhead, U.K., Monday, May 11, 2009
Think London is London’s official foreign direct investment agency. Think London have helped over 1,400 companies from 40 countries set up or expand in London since 1994. They are a not-for-profit private-public partnership and the experts on doing business in the capital. They promote London as the first choice for any business expanding into the UK or Europe — from start-ups to established international companies. Think London’s experts work with government and the business community to provide access to the best people, places and opportunities in the city.
Think London strives to help many businesses across the globe setup and succeed in London. Their ability to manage relationships with customers, partners and suppliers for each project is central to everything they do. Think London produced a requirement to replace their current Goldmine application with a modern CRM system that has the flexibility and functionality for Think London to improve the way they do business and to offer exceptional customer service. Having looked at more than 40 different CRM partners and solutions, they choose Pythagoras Communications to deploy Microsoft CRM throughout their whole organisation.
The reason to partner with Pythagoras to implement Microsoft CRM was based on the expertise and professionalism shown by Pythagoras throughout the tender process and also their high level of expertise to make Microsoft CRM work for Not-for-Profit organisations. Pythagoras prides itself in having a dedicated not-for-profit business unit whose resources have considerable experience in this area.
The vision to create a single point of reference using Microsoft Dynamics linked to Accounting software and Sharepoint with Business Intelligence to provide cross-system analytics is an ideal scenario for many Not-for-Profit organisations. Pythagoras has a proven methodology to deliver this in a cost-effective, timescale restricted way, all with a visible return on investment.
The new Microsoft CRM system will replace approximately 60 users of Goldmine throughout the organisation. Goldmine was deemed as no longer fit for purpose. Think London wanted a new CRM system that had superior performance, greater scalability and offered modern features and functionality that could be enhanced and customised for Think London’s exact business requirements. Microsoft CRM will offer a vastly improved platform to manage all relationships with customers and potential clients, commercial partners and suppliers, as well as managing the relationships with the stakeholders who fund Think London.
