CRM giants deny 'doing a Salesforce.com'
Two of the largest names in customer relationship management (CRM) have stated their commitment to delivering applications on-demand. However, they claim it is a natural evolution which would have occurred with or without the likes of Salesforce.com. Senior execs from SAP and Siebel, speaking at the Gartner CRM Summit in London, denied their newfound enthusiasm is a reaction to the growing success of NetSuite, RightNow and Salesforce.com, who have all been championing the on-demand model since 1998. They also denied it is a case of playing catch-up, or exploiting the online service delivery model's immediacy to get a foot in the door for selling their traditional on-premise products. But despite the denials and the fact 'the school of 98' was conspicuous by its absence from a session entitled 'The Many Roads to On Demand CRM' - comprising the event's two premium sponsors - the spectre of the upstart start-ups cast a shadow over most of the discussion.
