Re: CRM for Mac???
curious..
will your web based CRM stay functional with the Safari web browser.
that would make a world of difference knowing that answer ahead of time.
I don't mean "mostly" and i don't mean "use firefox" or some other browser.
I know "technically" a web based app shouldn't care which.
reality is most do care and either don't work or some functionality is lost.
so get your programing guru's sit down with a Mac and run your web app with Safari and come back with either the same number of bugs you get with a Windows browser or perhaps even fewer.
also, your site manager can give you a list of what browsers are being used on your site. are Mac users currently using your app with no problems?
not being critical here... just askin a couple up front questions that I promise you will be asked by anyone getting ready to shell out some cash to save some cash.

Re: CRM for Mac???
i would be VERY interested in your product. I am desperately searching for the right preferable web based CRM that will work with my almost all mac office. the almost meaning i need it to work with windows as well. my main concerns are syncing with mac address book, ical, and mail as well as outlook. this has been a painful process and i have tried a few with no luck. it seems the CRM is either designed for one or the other and i have had no luck finding one that fits both. my office is almost completely mac but i will have a windows user here and there.
thanks
thanks

Re: CRM for Mac???
Erick, The fact that there are not many options out there for Mac Users is one of the reasons Macs dont seem to get a foothold in the enterprise. If your solution is completely web based, that would be a great opener for the Mac Market. One other company has seriously entered the Mac CRM Market, but they are unrealistically expensive for small businesses. There are a host of FileMaker Pro developers out there who will make custom CRM solutions and that seems to be the way to go for many Mac companies.
Web based CRM, can be a great tool, and as I am sure you know, ACT was originally for the MAC, then went to Windows exclusively. Because the timing for the mac has never been better for CRM apps as more businesses are getting fed up with Windows, a foothold into the CRM for Mac market is there as an opportunity.
My first goal would be to get the word out through MacWorld and start small. Build it as demand builds. The Mac is being held back by greedy developers, cut us loose.... Now is the time... Give us a CRM worthy of your company's name!
Thanks,
Rick B

Re: CRM for Mac???
Hi Eric,
In the UK office we've had a few calls from the regional Mac User Groups, they've been passing out our details and I have to say the response has been warmly received from the members.
I recall when they had ACT! for MAC until Symantec withdrew it.
Anything we can do to help you only have to ask
regards
Paul
