TEC Brings Its CRM Evaluation Center to the Latin-American Region

Montreal, Canada — Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC), a global company specializing in on-line services for software evaluation, has launched a Spanish-language Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Evaluation Center (http://crm.technologyevaluation.com/es/press) as part of its strategy to provide comprehensive software selection services to the Latin-American market.

TEC added CRM to its Spanish offerings because of the notable growth in this area. According to IDC, the Latin-American market is valued at an estimated $166 million (USD), with an expected growth rate of 13% in the next two years. Overall, TEC has seen continuous demand for CRM evaluations during 2005, experiencing over 200 requests a month.

To maintain its commitment and leadership in this area, TEC has made information on approximately thirty (30) CRM solutions and its decision-making tool, eBestMatchTM, available in Spanish. More solutions will be available in the future. Latin-American companies can evaluate and compare CRM applications for different industries and company sizes to determine which solutions fit their particular business requirements.

Companies using TEC’s CRM Evaluation Center can

1) significantly reduce the risk and resources associated with the application selection process
2) perform a more objective and impartial selection
3) leverage detailed information to lead negotiations with vendors

Information about vendor solutions are housed at the CRM site (http://crm.technologyevaluation.com/es/press). All vendors have completed TEC’s detailed request for information (RFI), containing over 1,100 criteria on features and functions. With eBestMatch, a solution’s capabilities are weighed against the company’s needs enabling decision makers to make informed choices.

The CRM evaluation tool is available for a two hour free trial, and can be licensed and customized for enterprise software selection projects. The evaluation center also offers request for proposal (RFP) templates, vendor capability reports, articles, and white papers in Spanish.
