What Cloud / SaaS CRM means to an Enterprise?
• 40% of all CRM software' sold in 2012 worldwide was SaaS-based. Gartner states that they are seeing their enterprise clients seek out easier-to-deploy CRM systems compared to on-premise alternatives.
• The report states that many enterprises are now replacing their legacy systems with SaaS-based CRM systems as well.
• Enterprise clients also report that SaaS-based CRM systems are delivering net-new applications that deliver complementary functionality not possible with legacy and previous-generation CRM platforms e.g. Social Media Connect & Mobility

What is SaaS/Cloud CRM?
• Application Service Providers or ASP has come a long way since the dot com boom in the mid 90’s.
• SaaS or Cloud based business solution is a means of using applications via the internet which is managed by the provider at their premise or at a remote location.
• The provider may charge per-use or through a periodic subscription fee.

Why SaaS /Cloud CRM for Enterprise ? • The Service provider will
update the latest release with patch management.
• It is compatible because all users will have the same version of the software.
• Because of it global availability.

1. Adapt to the Shifting Tides “figure out how Cloud CRM fits into the Enterprise’s current technology environment—into current data, into the overall process and operating model environment,””
2. First understand the Business Process “Previously buyers used to look at Consulting companies to understand the technology. With the Cloud CRM, consultants have to shift gears to understand the business process of the enterprise and explain the buyer how cloud CRM fits into the bigger picture”
3. Show Clients the Money “Switch from on-premises to on-demand can save anywhere from 40 percent to 60 percent of implementation costs”
4. Develop positive Customer Experience “Best of the firms pitching in on a SaaS CRM implementation are trying to develop a positive customer experience”

Business and Technology Transformation Journey Stages for Cloud CRM

Adoptability is the Key • Enterprises expect the SaaS CRM to have the depth and breath of the functionality. • SaaS CRM is likely to present some gaps in the functionality. • But as far as user adoption is concerned, SaaS CRM provides
high adoption to their end users. • The easy of use and the global accessibility provides sales
users to target more actionable and reliable sales pipeline. • The mobility and Social Media connect is the key enabler of user adoption.

How do I implement the Cloud CX ( Customer Experience) Solution ?
Confirm and Align Strategy : We call the below as ‘Cloud Queries :
A SaaS implementation for ERP and CRM is a big deal and you do need a plan, but even before that you should be looking at your business processes and asking yourself • What applications are involved? • Where is the data stored? • What kind of response times is needed? Can you work with a batch update to the data once a
day, or do you need near real-time access to new data regardless of which system owns it? • Batch data updates tend to be relatively easy and there are extract, transform and load (ETL)
tools to help with the process. For more real-time data sharing, you need integration technology or middleware, and you need to evaluate the options out there.
• Whether both your ERP and your CRM systems are SaaS or just one, but any time you deal with SaaS you need a service-level agreement (SLA), and if the two systems are from different vendors, you need to consider what happens if one system is down—how is transaction data stored, etc.
• What are your security requirements, both of your accessibility and of the data itself? • How much customization do you need? • Does the cost per-head method calculate in your favor? • Do you want to integrate your CRM with other enterprise solutions?
Design and Plan
Create an Operating Model The need for an operating model for medium and large SaaS installations comes as a surprise to many executives, who are expecting quick returns from SaaS But you cannot sidestep the exercise of creating and implementing a governance structure and operating model for SaaS.
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” - Abraham Lincoln
Build and Deliver
• Simple UI Configurations on Cloud CRM Applications • Connectivity/Integrations with various other systems

What are the SaaS CRM options we have today in market ?
| © Copyright 2013 Hitachi Consulting 25
Cloud Challenges SaaS solutions often work “right out of the box" for smaller organizations. However, larger enterprises generally have more complex business demands, including: • Evaluate the Cloud Integration options before you finalize the migration plan. • The need for 24 / 7 availability with no exclusion for “maintenance windows” • The desire to achieve process automation and business process re-engineering gains as
part of a SaaS implementation • A continual technology refresh cycle which replaces on-premise systems and may need to
replicate some of that system’s user interface in the new SaaS software • A well-thought out change management program for SaaS systems and their affects on
downstream systems • Business continuity and disaster recovery programs that must be tested and proven when
introducing SaaS into the corporate architecture • Data encryption to and from the SaaS providers data center

Do’s and Don’ts of Cloud CRM Migration from On-Premise
• Don’t Rush into implementation of Cloud CRM without complete understanding. • Don’t stop communicating! Arguably, the most common cause of failure of Cloud CRM projects is poor communication • Don’t forget to understand the agreement clauses and SLAs with the Vendor before signing the contract.
• Create a Plan and Operating Model first before migration. • Negotiate the right contract. •Follow right Implementation Approach. • Get in place proper Change Management Practices for smoother transition. • Adopt right data security policies.
