A duly authorized officer of the Respondents firm must sign the proposal. No other distribution of the proposal is to be made by the Respondent.

Cartus reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to select the Respondents of its choice, and to modify the proposed contract through mutual agreement prior to execution. By sending out this RFP, Cartus is not committing to any course of action and may choose to use any number of the providers chosen to participate in this RFP.2.0 Current ConfigurationCartus is currently using homegrown software to manage the Affinity business segment. The main application being used is the Home Event Management (HEM) system which is a client/server application built in Powerbuilder 11.0 with a SQL Server 2008 back-end. Our brokers retrieve information entered in the HEM system and update transactions through a web front end called Broker Center.

The Affinity group is located in the Cartus Irving, TX office. It is split into two distinct teams. The Mega client team supports our largest Affinity client which provided Cartus with over 140,000 leads in 2013. The HES (Home Event Services) team supports our other Affinity clients (approximately 20) which together provided Cartus with almost 32,000 leads in 2013. Both segments are growing annually but the HES team is growing at a more rapid rate. Between the two teams, there are over 200 RECs (Real Estate Consultants) providing services to the members.

There are several web services in place to receive leads or send data from external partners/clients: Aff SegmentDirectionPurpose

Mega Client OutgoingDelivers updates to the Mega client to provide status and contact information to the member via the Mega clients website.

HES Incoming/OutgoingDelivers leads to an external partner who provides lead chasing support to Cartus. A second web service delivers status from that partner back to HEM. (This interface is in progress and will be in place as of 2Q2014.)

Issues are: Difficult to change wording on documents (ex. Welcome Letter is hard coded), change codes, etc. Every change, no matter how small, requires a HEM build/push. Inability to tweak workflow, tasking, documents, communication, and screen/field changes without a build. Cant differentiate workflow by client for High Touch and Low Touch1. Takes 3 weeks for training seasonal temps (approximately 50 users). Would like scripting, prompts online that provide on-the-job training that allows new hires to take calls earlier. 1. No email integration1. Tasking is manual, no automatic prioritization or work to be done1. Manual assignment of leads 1. No tools to prompt RECs on appropriate wording, prompts, etc for the members client. HES RECs work on multiple clients simultaneously and they can make mistakes when switching from one client to another2.1 VisionCartus believes that a third party CRM package would provide the Affinity group with the flexibility they need to address the above issues. Because a CRM package would need to be integrated into the existing Cartus application infrastructure, the project to implement a CRM would need to be broken down into 4 phases. Responses to this RFP would only need to address phases 1 and 2.

Phase 1: Implement the CRM software and set up/configure for use by mega client team Migrate active leads and 2 years of closed leads to CRM for mega client Integrate CRM with Cartus phone system and Avaya Interaction Center Build interface to Cartus HEM Reporting System so each CRM transaction can be recorded in a centralized reporting system Build interface to Broker Center so that Brokers continue to receive leads from Cartus and are able to respond and update leads coming from CRM or HEM Systems Build interface to CRM to allow selecting Brokers based on territory assignments Build interfaces to partner sites to receive and send leads and status updates on leads being passed between partners (for mega client) Develop reporting needs out of CRM to support mega client

Phase 2: Set up/configure CRM to support HES client team Migrate active leads and 2 years of closed leads to CRM for HES clients Build interfaces to partner sites to receive and send leads and status updates on leads being passed between partners (for HES clients) Develop reporting needs out of CRM for HES clients

Phase 2a: Develop financial module for securely processing financial transactions from HEM and CRM to Oracle Financials. Build mechanism for clients to review and approve payouts to members Build mechanism to manage receiveables and receipt of payments from Brokers and record securely and accurately in Oracle Financials Build mechanism for maintaining and managing business rules around splits, payouts and revenue due to Cartus

Phase 3: Build a new Broker Center website application (Responsive) with modern features and functionality Modify interfaces from new Broker Center to CRM and HEM to support needs of new Broker Center Build functionality to push leads to Brokers rfom CRM

Phase 4: Build HEM Broker Maintenance functionality into ATLAS screens Build HEM Broker to Broker functionality into ATLAS screens Build HEM Territory Maintenance functionality into ATLAS screens Build HEM Case Management functionality into ATLAS screens for Relo Build HEM Employee & Client Maintenance into ATLAS screens Build HEM Temp Living functionality into ATLAS screens Build Homesale referral screen functionality into ATLAS screens Migrate reporting from HEM Reporting
