Finally !! An official count of FSTW competitors. A less-unnerving way to get close to your customers is through CRM. But deciding which CRM software is best for your company has always been an issue. On Feb. 19, Bethesda, Md.-based ISM Inc. will announce on its Web site the top 15 CRM packages. In case you didn't know, there are 171 to choose from. Up from 166 last year. Now where's consolidation when you need it? computerworld.com I guess those other numbers (200, 250, etc) that were being used included pseudo-CRM products and services. Who knows? But, if Computerworld says there are 171, then are are at least 171. CW was one of the first publications that focused on the software industry many years ago and has been a respected source of information ever since. Maybe FSTW will claw its way to the top 15 CRM products this year? They were on the list of 30 last year. Heck, with their relatively new "industry shaking" user interface in V8.0, and a brand new not-yet-announced .NET based ... something ... they SURELY moved up in the rankings. TED
