Gradually, after delivering hundreds of successful CRM projects globally by the year 2010, it became apparent that large organizations across Asia required an enterprise grade, comprehensive CRM solution, but with a pricing model that was cognizant of the realities of the local economy. In response, SimpleCRM product line was conceptualized and introduced specifically to address this need. SimpleCRM product started as a customized solution on SugarCRM open platform with its first customer — HSBC InvestDirect (India). At its peak, HSBC InvestDirect had over 1,000 users successfully managing sales and support operations on SimpleCRM. Today, SimpleCRM has matured into an enterprise grade, highly scalable, comprehensive and cost-effective CRM of choice for large enterprises in Asia.
