People deploy CRM systems to support the business and everything else is just “fluffy nonsense”. One more important consideration, once written, you own the data structure, the data and the application, it lives on your account and as long as you pay the modest Intuit Fees. It is yours forever. Never let your data or indeed your application be used as a weapon against you. Even allowing for the upfront development costs a dedicated QUICK Base CRM application very quickly becomes a cost effective solution.
