Product upgrades for your CRM: be smart to evolve?
If your organization uses a CRM, there is a faily good chance that it is running by itself. And as long as it works, there is probably little wish to update it. However in the mean time your editor is releasing recurrent upgrades, included in the fee you pay. So, you’re probably missing out some really nice and relevant adaptations that would benefit to your team or company. The present article will tackle the following: to take or not to take the benefits of recurrent SAP upgrades.
Quarterly upgrades
Each three months, the editor delivers a new upgrade with a batch of corrections and new functionalities. The idea of those releases is:
- To fix security or platform-related issues
- To hear the customer voice and requests
- To continuously deliver what users expect from SAP
So the plan of your softwareplatform to continuously improve the product is great. Unfortunately, too many CRM users are missing out on the activation of these proposed features on their running platform. They are most of the time not even aware of all proposed new functionalities and improvements.
Sounds familiar? In this case most probably the product you already own and use, has the ability to look fresher, to provide shortcuts, improved screens, and new features to simplify your user’s life. If you don’t follow up upgrades, you have all those enhancements just waiting for you to activate or acknowledge them.
