GaleForce Partners with Avanade to Offer Enterprise CRM for Financial Services
June 23, 2005
GaleForce Partners with Avanade to Offer Enterprise CRM for Financial Services
Avanade Inc., a leading global technology integrator for Microsoft solutions, today announced that it is partnering with GaleForce Solutions, an award-winning provider of Microsoft CRM-based software for the financial services sector. Together, the partners offer a joint solution – Avanade Enterprise CRM for Financial Services™– comprising software modules and services that provide financial institutions with breakthrough value by leveraging Microsoft CRM and Office System applications.
The partnership between the two companies combines expertise, assets and resources to bring to market a cost-effective, easy to use, high-performance CRM solution for the financial services sector. Avanade Enterprise CRM for Financial Services builds on GaleForce Solutions’ industry-specific extensions and enhancements to core Microsoft CRM technology and strengthens the offering with Avanade’s experience, expertise and assets in the full range of Microsoft solutions, services, platforms and development tools.
Avanade’s team will resell, design and deploy the solution, applying expertise gained helping financial services customers use Microsoft technologies to achieve their business goals. In addition, the Avanade consultants trained on the GaleForce CRM application will continue to develop new assets to address the unique and changing business needs of our financial services customers.
“Together, Avanade and GaleForce Solutions combine the right people and expertise, tools and geographic reach to offer CRM solutions that deliver integrated business insight to help financial services organizations increase value to their clients,” said John Fraissinet, CEO of GaleForce Solutions. “We believe this alliance offers an alternative that is truly world-class, in terms of the technology and benefits delivered to our financial services clients.”
The American Banking Association indicated financial institutions’ spending on CRM is expected to grow by more than six percent annually over the next few years, faster than the general level of all other IT spending. [Doug Johnson et. al., “CRM Revisited: Has Its Time Come?” American Bankers Association (May 26, 2004).]
“Avanade’s Enterprise CRM for Financial Services solution encapsulates our experience with large-scale Microsoft CRM implementations. By joining forces with GaleForce Solutions, we have created a practical CRM solution to drive sales and build customer loyalty,” said Kim Gable, general manager, Avanade Microsoft Business Solutions Practice in the US. “This is just one example of how Avanade’s repeatable, ready-to-use assets can decrease solution implementation time and reduce integration costs by easing integration of our solutions with existing systems.”
