Workbooks has recently moved a number customers from Salesforce, including activereach Ltd and Tomorrow People. Raza Rizvi, Director of activereach Ltd commented, “Having been Salesforce users for the last 4 years, we were sceptical about moving from such a large brand name, but having reviewed Workbooks CRM service and pricing we were convinced that it had the right approach and feature set for us. We will gain a huge increase in functionality and cohesion within our business including integration with our Xero accounting package.”

About the Network Computing Awards

The Network Computing Awards were set up to recognise the solutions and the companies that have been most impressive in helping organisations function better through getting the most out of their networks. The effectiveness of an organisation depends to a large degree on the performance of its network. How fast does it run? How much downtime does it experience? How well does it cope with running an increasing number of applications and storing an increasing amount of data? How secure is it? It’s fair to say that managing a network is a challenging job. Run by Network Computing Magazine, the awards are customer voted and recognise the best each year from the industry.
