My old workstation just died! Now what???
What would you do if your workstation died and you needed to replace it?
- Will your current CRM system run on a new computer?
- Will it lose functionality or be incompatible with the new version of Windows? IE? Word?
- Will your CRM be dead?
- Will you try to buy the new computer with an outdated operating system just so that your CRM will run?
It used to be ok to lag behind.
When Vista came out, you probably said, "Oh heck, I can stay with XP. It works great. There hasn't been very good press on Vista anyway, so maybe it's good to stay away from it. My CRM works great on XP. I can stay here."
Back then you could still buy a machine that ran XP. What about now? Will you say the same thing again? Will you even be able to buy XP? And if you can, why would you choose to buy a 7 year old operating system? Just so that the 7 year old version of your CRM will still run? Will you be stuck with a 7 year old IE browser and a 7 year old version of Word - just to keep your current CRM running? How broken and outdated can you afford to be?
Lagging behind won't be possible forever.
What if you are forced to go to Windows 7 when you buy a new computer? One day Microsoft and PC vendors will stop selling XP, just like you can no longer buy the old version of your favorite CRM software. Then you won't have a choice.
Sounds scary. But actually, at some point it's worth biting the bullet and modernizing. Productivity enhancements in software haven't stopped developing just because you haven't kept up. There is a lot to be gained by catching up. Windows7 is coming out in October. And the reviews this time around are actually good. It's time to look around for a new best of breed CRM, built for modern technology, with a modern design and modern thinking. That's RedHorse CRM.
