Social Media Marketing Integrated in RedHorse CRM Version 5.0


La Quinta, CA (PRWEB) May 02, 2012

Influence social media without ever leaving business management software

RedHorse CRM v5.0 has integrated one more business and marketing function into an already powerful business software: social media tools. As they have done with other functions they have integrated, they have set the bar high. Now, users can manage LinkedIn and Twitter accounts directly from RedHorse CRM, without firing up other software.

People have asked, why social media? The answer is that social media for business is one of the most important marketing topics today, said Connie Koch, founder of RedHorse Systems. Companies must develop social media strategies, because potential purchasers are being influenced by social media conversations. If companies dont participate, they have no voice. Readers of the stream will come to conclusions about the company without ever hearing what the company has to say.

Social Media Data Mining Included

With Red Horse CRM, a user can mine the social data stream to discover trends in time to respond to them. The application includes features to track what interests Favorites and Friends, permitting a deeper look to find out what is most important to potential customers before bringing out the next widget. This peek into the future can insure that new offerings are on target.

Having the social media network right in front of them as they do their work, users can spot Tweets that are important, respond to them immediately, and with a click save the Tweets on the contacts record for later use.

Discover the Trends that are Revising the Definition of Technology Excellence in “The New Technology Elite”, by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.


Hoboken, New Jersey (PRWEB) April 23, 2012

Most businesses are seeing an avalanche of employees and consumers asking to interact with them using iPads, Android phones, Facebook pages and other consumer tech. Savvy companies are not just refreshing their internal IT for this tech savvy user they are targeting this user with technology enabled smart products and services. In doing so, they are finding they can learn plenty about retail stores, data centers, logistics from Apple, Amazon, Google, eBay and others.

John Wiley and Sons is releasing The New Technology Elite: How Great Companies Optimize Both Technology Consumption And Production ($ 29.99; April 2012) to examine two powerful trends that are stopping “IT as usual” in its tracks the “consumerization of enterprise technology” and, in contrast, “the enterprising of consumer technology.” With seventeen case studies and four guest columns throughout the book, The New Technology Elite details the trends that are revising the definition of technology excellence.

????No industry or geography is shielded. Walgreens, the pharmacy chain has a refill application that allows customers to scan the bar code from a previous prescription using a mobile phone, transmit it, and get a text message to go pick it up at a nearby store. Whirlpool’s Duet washer/dryers come with LCD screens and various laundry apps designed to give users advice on stain removal and other laundry questions. Their zip codes are far from Silicon Valley, and they may be thought as retail, automobile or banking businesses, but industry after industry is waking up to this opportunity of “smart” products and services. The New Technology Elite offers the how-to guidance a wide range of technologies to deliver a better product and gain competitive advantage. Coverage includes the transition away from high-level technology to the new importance of:

Product design elegance

Physical presence in strategic retail locations

Ecosystems of developers and thriving app stores

Social savvy

Paranoia in the world of hacker groups such as LulzSec and Anonymous

Pragmatism in a world where attorneys are even more influential than engineers

Being able to fly to Xiamen or Xanadu at a moment’s notice

????Technology has traditionally been used for control and compliance. The New Technology Elite showcases the exciting transition to using technology for revenue and growth. It does so by showcasing technology athletes and the new records they are scaling. Soon, every organization will be benchmarked against these elite, and be competing with them .This book is essential reading for business professionals ranging from CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and technology vendors, to venture capitalists, IT consultants, marketing executives, and policy makers looking to encourage technology innovation.

Advanced Praise for The New Technology Elite

“Technology-enabled innovation is the future, but make no mistake, that future is here today. Mirchandani uses technology athletes to inspire us in that even the things we may think are impossible are in fact either a current or near future reality.”

Michael McNamara, CEO, Flextronics

“In The New Technology Elite, Mirchandani reveals the secret sauce that separates corporate leaders from laggards and market winners from also-rans in the unforgiving global economy. He neatly deconstructs the creative spark, innovative thinking, and excellence of execution that successful companies must continuously master to translate smartly conceived and efficiently delivered technology solutions into market outperformance and sustainable competitive advantage. Doing so reminds us that while technology innovation may start with tightly orchestrated ideation in the dark recesses of the virtual back office, success is often determined by the industrial scale that is unleashed to create products and services that deliver vibrant and intuitive user experiences, as well as rich and utilitarian capabilities that anticipate customer needs, today and tomorrow, and measure up to, if not exceed, rising consumer and business expectations.”

Francisco D’Souza, President and CEO,

Cognizant Technology Solutions

“This book isn’t for those who want to stick to ‘IT as usual.’ Mirchandani uses real-world examples to catalog the wide range of forces driving IT leadership to adapt or fail in the digital economy.”

Chris J. Murphy, Editor, InformationWeek

“Today, every company must ‘rethink everything’ from their core processes to their fundamental business models. In his new book, Mirchandani shows countless examples of how new technologies have removed historic barriers thus allowing companies to rethink everything. Mirchandani’s book is a must-read for business leaders who want to inspire and rededicate their workforce. More importantly, it will serve as a guide to the new ways with which collaboration, innovation, technology, and more will fundamentally, permanently, and perpetually change the businesses of today. If your firm has the will to change, this book has the guidance.”

Timothy Christen, CEO, Baker Tilly
