Workbooks Online Launches Business Performance Lifeline for UK SMEs

WorkBooks Online announced today its entry into the UK market, offering small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) an integrated suite of CRM and Business applications, delivered via SaaS over the internet. John Cheney, CEO and founder of Workbooks Online, comments: “Larger organisations have historically been able to benefit from fully integrated technologies by purchasing high-end business software like SAP or Oracle. But SMEs with less spending power have been left with standalone applications for accounting and sales and marketing that can’t communicate with one another. As a result, many have separate islands of sales, financial and customer data across applications such as Sage, Salesforce.com, Goldmine and Act! In the majority of cases it’s a mess – it’s disjointed and disorganised. Despite the best efforts of managers building spreadsheets to plug the gap, all-too-often business opportunities are compromised or missed altogether.
