Resellers,
Consultants and Business Alliances
If you are a business or computer consultant,
Reach-Out can provide a business alliance solution perfect for you. Reach-Out can be integrated into the business
methodology you implement in your client organizations. DID technology provides a key to integrate
your perspective and that of your client organizations' managements into a
software solution with no need for technical staff. Our projects are divided into two parts: 1. Purchasing and configurating the software
to fit the client organization 2. Instruction, Implementation and Ongoing
Support. The largest and most expensive parts of the
project are the configuration, instruction and implementation processes.
These processes cost 2-3 times as much as the software itself. Other CRM solutions, even those that
supposedly feature user-level flexibility, in reality require large sums of
money to implement changes and tailor the solutions to fit an organization.
The part of an external consultant, in this case, becomes minimal. Often when purchasing the software, the
management is not fully aware of these facts, and do not dedicate sufficient
resources to the implementation and training processes. The major part of the
budget is dedicated to purchasing the software itself. Implementation of changes and configuration
is actually the major source of income for traditional software providers. Even when these providers advertise
flexibility, in reality, their flexibility is actually very limited. In terms of marketing, it is in their best
interest to claim quick and easy configuration, but in reality most of these
solution do not provide user-level configuration and their abilities are
limited. High level configuration and changes for
projects requires the intervention of programmers and is one of their
greatest sources of revenue. The high costs of these configuration changes
do not leave much room for consulting services, and the consultant's part in
the project is neglected. 65% of CRM projects fail worldwide. This failure is the result of several
factors: 1. The lack of ability to make real-time
changes to fit the client organization at minimum cost. 2. Complicated and unfriendly configurations
that do not leave room for future changes. Once the organization reaches the stage of
self-awareness, the configuration and integration processes are usually long
over. Nobody in the organization will dare make additional changes at further
cost; the project's budget and resources being spent. 3. The implementation and integration
processes can be a long tiring process. At a certain point, a process of
"self-awareness" takes place, and the lack of sufficient resources
for training and implementation become evident. Complicated and expensive
implementations are common, often based on written implementation reports
instead of direct "multi-level thinking", and as a result of a lack
of user-friendly tools that help to move the implementation process forward. Implementing changes and improvements beyond
the original plan are at great expense and eat up resources that could be
devoted to implementing new work processes. Reach-Out using DID technology allows
immediate changes, in seconds, in real time at no additional cost. All changes are on the user level, with no
need for programmers. Implementation processes will be shortened in
comparison with other software solutions available worldwide. Reach-Out's technology is mature and as
evidenced in the success of thousands of businesses worldwide in the last
decade. We have no technological difficulties and we
provide answers to most demands presented by our customers. Reach-Out can be fitted to our client
organizations in minutes. The full process takes longer, and consists
of several meetings. The time needed for full implementation is
not a result of technological limitations, but for the need to understand an
organization's work processes and integrate them in the software solution. Each configuration reflects the work of the
staff making use of the software. For consultants already providing services
within an organization, this can shorten the time devoted to understanding
and analyzing an organization's need. It is important to test and understand the
meanings, repercussions and the logic of the new work processes. This new process will demand time from your
customers, time devoted to learning and understanding the software. A number of meetings are necessary in order
improve the understanding and the awareness of the repercussions of using the
software in your organization. This is called "multi-level
thinking"—creativity, learning, testing and revision. The integration process, accomplished after a
couple of meetings with Reach-Out, can last a number of years with our
competitors. We have complete success with Reach-Out in
projects where the organizations underwent even a short amount of training. However, those customers that preferred to
work independently had a rate of success similar to that of CRM projects
worldwide. This shows us that technology, no matter how
user-friendly and easy, is not sufficient. There is a clear need for project guidance
and support. Organizations that appoint a project manager
with enough time and resources for learning the methodology of the solution,
success is guaranteed. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen in most cases,
especially when the customer chooses to work without an external consultant. In fact, every Reach-Out project manager has
the resources to serve as consultant for Reach-Out in other projects. Your advantage as resellers, in addition to
experienced gained starting from your first project, is your professional
experience as a business consultant. The consulting process for Reach-Out does not
demand complex technical knowledge. There is, of course, a need for training and
understanding of the software – but this is a comparatively short and easy
process. Consultants receive complete technological
support during their projects; we even guarantee success on the technological
level. Your success is our success. Companies that choose Reach-Out find that a
large amount of the resources intended for the CRM project are unnecessary.
You, as a consultant, can take advantage of these resources to provide the
necessary consulting, training and implementation processes. We will always be there to provide support
and insure your project's success. The implementation process in your
organization is long and ongoing. The factors that influence the length of the
process are:
. Implementation means
changing organizational culture. Businesses will undergo a process of changing work habits. This will take place in several implementation stages. We recommend starting with a simple implementation and
completing the basic implementation as completely as possible within the
organization. The next step is to make changes and improvements to raise
the level of sophistication of the implementation process. Your part does not necessarily have to end with the
primary implementation. During more advanced stages of the project it is necessary
to concentrate on: a. Constantly adding improvements and tailoring the
solution to fit changing work processes. b. Analyzing the organization and directing the attention
of the owners or managers to the nature of existing management functions. c. Finding the right solutions to those problems that
surfaced in your analysis. d. Overseeing and broadening the implementation. In fact, your part in improving the business never really
comes to an end. The organization need to be sensitive to the constantly
changing market forces and look for the appropriate solutions. Reach-Out provides the tools to implement the solutions
derived from constantly analyzing organizational activity. In this way, you can preserve the high-level of
achievement that will become evident following the implementation.
Accordingly, you can continue to bring your organization to higher and higher
levels of achievement. Reach-Out enables you to oversee and analyze work that is
ongoing in various geographical locations. Reach-Out provides a technological solution for every
client. Our clients express great satisfaction with our
technology. We will provide you with training and the tools needed to
implement Reach-Out in any organization. Your work with us, on the business level, concentrates on
the technological side of the project. Although you will have to devote time to learning how to
use the software, this will enable you to provide higher quality business
solutions. Your professional knowledge and consulting skills will
take on another dimension. Once you take on the configuration and implementation of
Reach-Out, the responsibility and the profits stay completely in your hands;
you do not have to share your earnings from the client with us or with any
other organization. You can see our relationship us a partnership. We are only the technological and technical side of the
partnership. You can take on the responsibility for the marketing,
configuration, training, consulting, implementation and ongoing support for
your client organization. In this way, you preserve your relationship with
the client. In additional to technical knowledge, we will also provide
you with knowledge gained from professional experience and other projects. We both have the same goal—your success in a project is
our success. We concentrate on technological development and are
constantly developing in order to remain competitive and provide the most
advanced technological solutions to our clients. We concentrate on technological development—you
concentrate on the client and his world. We see our partnership not as a conventional partnership,
but as a form of perfect symbiosis, designed to benefit all those involved. In short, the advantages of being a Reach-Out work
consultant: 1. There is no need for written planning or configuration
reports. Database design and configuration takes place on site; using DID
technology you can add fields in seconds while meeting with your client. 2. The software configuration will be better and more
accurate, using "multi-level thinking"—immediate implementation,
assessment, work and finally improvement. 3. The project budget will be dedicated, in large part, to
consulting and support, and not to the software provider. 4. You can provide constant support even when you are not
physically on site. 5. Your relationship with the client will become stronger. 6. Your role as a "central player" in the
project will be strengthened, adding to your business reputation. 7. Project completion and ongoing consulting and support
will provide you with a steady source of income. 8. You do not need to waste time on the technical element
of the software - servers, maintenance etc. 9. We will do everything to guarantee your success – we
will provide you with constant "backstage" support. All that is left for you to do is to find several clients
for Reach-Out projects; you will find you have created a firm business
platform for yourself, a platform from which all parties benefit. Please contact us for further details on our
