The ACNielsen Survey

What are the productivity effects of implementing CRM software?

Why invest in CRM software? To remain profitable? To better serve your customers? To become more efficient?

We have always been convinced that SuperOffice's ease of use will increase your efficiency and make you enjoy your work, and thus help you reach your overall goals. Now our convictions are backed by an independent study by ACNielsen.

In an international independent pre- and post-implementing SuperOffice user survey conducted by ACNielsen, 86 % of the users state that they are satisfied with SuperOffice CRM. Interviewing and testing the users in performing different working tasks conducted the survey.

The Survey

We asked ACNielsen to create an international survey that gives measurable indicators on the impact of implementing CRM software.

bullet The survey was based on face-to-face interviews.
bullet A task list was defined which represented an ’average’ office day.
bullet Each interview focused on performing all the tasks in the defined task list and measured the time needed to complete tasks.
bullet In addition questions were asked about ’soft’ factors regarding the tasks.
bullet Interviews were performed before and after the implementation of SuperOffice.
