TOP 10 ONLINE SAAS RESOURCES
On-Demand ERP Software Reviews
CRMlandmark.com is an active CRM software community site that delivers quality content related to the education, evaluation and insight of customer relationship management software and business strategy. The CRM software reviews are particularly candid. Unlike several of the self proclaimed CRM software review websites which never mention a negative comment about any software solution (because of their reliance on vendor advertising and pay per lead programs), CRMlandmark provides a balanced perspective which shared both the advantages and disadvantages of any particular CRM software application.
RFP Builder
ERP software buyers are always on the lookout for useful tools to aid or accelerate their software selection projects. The ERP RFP (request for proposal) Builder offers a well constructed RFP template with thorough feature set and software functionality requirements. Users of this tool can add their own RFP criteria, remove criteria that is not relevant to their business and weight all criteria with a custom scoring scale which best suites their needs.
Demo Script Builder
One the RFPs are received, graded, weighted and scored, the next software selection deliverable is the vendor demo script. Don't make the mistake of permitting ERP software vendors to each demo different feature sets, functionality offerings and tools which then leaves the project team with the impossible task of comparing systems according to common criteria. Only when every vendor follows the same demonstration script and illustrates the items most important to your software selection objectives will the best system stand out. ERPsoftware360.com also delivers an ERP Demo Script Builder which brings a proven structure and useful content to the ERP software demonstration process.
ERP Software Industry Reviews

CRM software as a service is a form of IT outsourcing whereby users tap into the applications they need on the servers of
other companies rather than license or develop software and run it in-house. Although it is hardly new, companies have done that with their payroll systems for decades, it is part of a rising wave that includes utility computing, cloud
computing, grid computing and virtualization.
SaaS CRM solutions let you get up and running quickly and offload the
development, testing and maintenance chores, not only for the software but for the hardware it runs on, to someone else.
Users say it is especially attractive in these times of economic uncertainty because it allows you to 'pay by the drink' in amounts appropriate for changing needs and
budgets.
