Online CRM Application intelecrm Receives Product of the Year Award Presentedby Customer Interaction

Feb. 12, 2010 - PRLog -- Chicago, IL February 4, 2010 -- Intelestream, Inc., the leader in open source CRM consulting and developers of intelecrm™, the award winning small business on demand CRM solution, today announced the company has received the 2009 Product of the Year Award from Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC®) Customer Interaction Solutions magazine, the leading publication covering CRM, call centers and teleservices since 1982.

Developed by Intelestream in 2008, intelecrm offers enterprise level CRM functionality to small and medium sized businesses. Pricing for the application follows a unique model that charges subscribers according to the quantity of records and data storage used, rather than the number of users accessing the system. Intelestream also has applied what the company terms as a “pay-for-what-you-need” approach to intelecrm. Customers are billed for only the features and add-ons they require, which is an especially appealing option for small businesses on a budget. Basic edition pricing for intelecrm, which includes unlimited users, starts at $20 per month.

The application is designed as an affordable, turn-key CRM solution that can be easily customized according to individual requirements. An internet connection and a web browser are all that is needed to use the application, so getting started is easy.

“It is an honor to be recognized by Customer Interaction Solutions Magazine with the Product of the Year Award,” states Director of Marketing for Intelestream Stafford McKay, Jr. “Of course this award means a lot to our dedicated team, but the accolades we receive everyday from our small and medium sized CRM customers prove that the application is working to facilitate sophisticated salesforce automation for growing businesses.”

“I am pleased to honor Intelestream for its hard work and success. intelecrm has demonstrated excellence in CRM technologies as well as providing ROI for the companies that use it,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “For 12 years, Customer Interaction Solutions magazine has been honoring innovative companies for their contributions in advancing technologies and application refinements,” he added.
