With hindsight … what made a difference? Service management features
Email to case, customer portal, case management and reporting.
Cost of ownership SF partner consultant for 12 weeks then just license/support fees. Implementation and configuration of other options were high and cost of change with other workflow/ case management systems were significant.
Ease of implementation
16 weeks from contract signature to go live with email to case; single sign on for core users; master data interface with SAP. Later added interface to save documents from SF to employee electronic files in Imagemaster
Ease of maintenance Simple to use – low level of user training; easy to find errors and correct them; no need for IS support; no upgrade management.
Single product – no apps
Full implementation dithout additional applications – no requirement for multiple contracts, DP/Security and works council negotiations.
