Federal Check Recovery called on Delta Systems for initial guidance on implementing a customer relationship management system (CRM System).

Delta Systems always carefully considers many factors when advising clients. The biggest factor is always “buy versus build”. Is it better/cheaper/faster to just buy an off the shelf system? Or does the client need a completely customized solution? Perhaps there is room for a hybrid solution? Either way, Delta can do all of these and advises clients as such.

We can’t beat QuickBooks on price or features, but we can write systems that integrate with all versions of QuickBooks.

We can’t beat Goldmine on price or features, but we can write systems that push or pull data from that CRM solution.

Here is a summary of our advice:
