Castle CRM Developing Cloud Computing Practice Based on Sage SalesLogix

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwire - January 26, 2010) - Sage North America, which provides business management software and services to more than three million small and mid-sized businesses in Canada and the United States, today announced that Castle CRM has added a cloud computing version of Sage SalesLogix to its CRM offerings. Castle CRM, a Sage CRM Solutions business partner, has deployed an initial phase Sage SalesLogix cloud implementation for M. Frank Higgins and Co., Inc. Castle has also created a data migration tool to help customers who select Sage SalesLogix transition from competing CRM systems at no additional cost.

"The Sage SalesLogix cloud computing and Castle CRM value propositions both focus on customer benefits not vendor conveniences," said Tony Castle, CEO of Castle CRM. "Data security is paramount for our customers because they will not risk co-mingling their data with a vendor's other client data. Our customers want secure, flexible options and this is what Sage allows us to offer."

Castle CRM implemented Sage SalesLogix version 7.5.2 in the cloud for M.F. Higgins and Company (www.mfhiggins.com), a commercial flooring contractor in Newington, CT. Castle built customizations in Sage SalesLogix for Higgins including a manpower report that helps the company more efficiently schedule employees and resources on concurrent projects, replacing multiple iterations of spreadsheets that were previously used.

"We do not staff IT personnel nor have the infrastructure required for many CRM systems," explained Steve Cloud, president of M. Frank Higgins and Co., Inc. "Sage SalesLogix in an on-demand cloud computing format, with the aid of Castle CRM, quickly became our ideal choice, and we can retain our confidential customer data without any IT complexity or extra expense."

Higgins next plans to work with Castle CRM to add Sage SalesLogix Mobile for its employees.
