What direction to take when choosing a CRM system
Date: Jan 10, 2012


Lauren Carlson has written another good article over there at CRM Software Advice about CRM's "Go Vertical, Customize or Integrate?". I think it's worth checking out.

Ntractive's philosophy on CRM is to build the most elegant, simple (yet powerful) CRM for the Mac, iPad and iPhone. Elements CRM is built with verticalization in mind along with a good degree of customization. This, along with a beautiful, mac-centric interface, is the formula for a great CRM.

Most businesses today do not want to build and host their own CRM. The cost is too great, it requires IT staff, and takes time to deploy and maintain. Cloud-based apps or Hybrid-based apps are where we believe the future of CRM is headed.

Come join us in the cloud, life is good up here!

Steve Jobs 1955-2011
Date: Oct 5, 2011

Steve Jobs was a visionary who changed the way we think about technology and more. Mac Company's like Ntractive would not even exist if it was not for Steve's influence, passion, and genius to strive for something better. Apple and Steve had a profound effect on me at an early age (like many others). He will be greatly missed. The Ntractive staff's thoughts and prayers are with Steve's family.

A quote I think that sums it all up. "Because the man who was crazy enough to think he could change the world, was that one who did" Read entire quote

Elements CRM 3.0 is Coming Soon
Date: Dec 2011
We have been hard at work on our next version of Elements CRM (really, really hard at work), and the lack of sleep of our development team will definitely be worth it. Version 3.0 has been in beta the last few months and we have received a lot of really great suggestions from our users on what we should include.

Version 3.0 will include:
  Many New Features
  Cool New Interface
  New Mobile Editions

Initial feedback from our clients on Elements CRM Version 3.0 has been extremely positive and we can hardly wait to show it off. It's hard to keep these awesome new features a secret much longer. Sorry, but you'll just have to wait and see for yourself!

Look for Elements CRM 3.0 coming in the first half of 2011!

What's in a Price?
Date: Aug 2010
Well, there is actually a lot of things that go into a price. Ntractive recently restructured the Elements CRM pricing model to reach out to more Mac businesses, and we had a lot of factors to consider when doing so.

  What can our clientele afford?
  What can we afford to give away?
  How much does a client cost to retain?
  How much does it cost to gain new clients?

With its initial release, Elements CRM was offered at a single price point: the Professional Edition at $69.95 per user per month. Elements has a strong, rich feature-set and this price offers a fantastic value. So why would we restructure the pricing?

After the first year of having Elements CRM on the market, we were shocked at how many startup companies were switching to the Mac. Startup companies have to operate on a tight budget, and we knew we had to find a way to help them start with the right Mac CRM from the very beginning.

Restructuring Elements CRM's pricing model wasn't easy. This challenge brought us back to numbers 3 and 4; helping a new business get their feet off the ground results in us retaining a great client that eventually evolves into Elements Professional Edition, and our client thrives using Elements CRM to help make their business grow.
