Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund, Inc. Standardizes on Salesforce
Company joins the more than 1,600 financial services organizations using the leading on-demand solution to empower relationship managers and increase business success
The Fund is one of the 38,100 companies of all sizes, industries and geographies that comprised the salesforce.com customer base as of October 31, 2007. Revenue and subscribers will be recognized as the service is delivered.
"Strong relationships with our member attorneys are critical to the success of our business, and our relationship managers are directly responsible for retaining and fostering those relationships," said Neal Mengel, product manager at The Fund. "We deployed Salesforce in less than two months and trained our staff in four days. With the easy-to-use solution, we gained a 360-degree view of our customers and instant productivity gains."
As a result of The Fund's search for an offering to replace a previous on-premise solution, the company enlisted salesforce.com professional services to deploy and customize the Salesforce solution. Leveraging the Force.com platform, The Fund provides a unique CRM solution tailored for its specific business needs.
Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund used the Force.com platform-as-a-service to easily integrate several back-end systems with Salesforce, allowing a single view into all operations, from marketing and sales to finance and claims management.
"Salesforce has completely transformed how we manage and use information, making us more agile and better able to meet and exceed the needs of our members," added Mengel. "The best part is that, with salesforce.com's on-demand platform, we've gained all these business improvements without investing IT resources and large budgets. No other company could offer anything comparable."
