eRecruiter employs eRelationship

The leading eWorkforce Planning (EWP) company has chosen Pivotal's eRelationship family of eCRM solutions to improve and optimise customer relationships through the Web.

Icarian President and CEO Doug Merrit said the deal would allow his company to boost profitability by shortening the sales cycle and improving customer satisfaction.  The Pivotal package was chosen on the back of its flexible architecture, out-of-the-box functionality and optimisation for Microsoft technology.

Merrit told CRM News the package would help Icarian manage their relationships with Web customers and partners while fully integrating Web-based eCRM with their front-office operation.
