<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ya, goldmine is 'powerful', the problem is, every
business is a little different, thus everyone wants something tailored
specifically to their needs. Goldmine can handle a lot of situations, but
to do so, it almost becomes overly complex.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=943353607-04082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We
use Goldmine here... I say use... it's on, but no-one seems to have much
interest in it. Our MD was quite vociferous in getting the one package
standardised accross the group, but the sales & marketing people have
refused to use it, so no-one else bothers now. It's not a bad system, it seems
quite powerful, but then we don't have 70,000 customers. We've found that a
shared address book in exchange/outlook serves our
purpose.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

all</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=010080514-02082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Does
anyone use, or have experience of, a contact management package? Any
recommendations? I've a (potential) client who uses ACT! but, with around
70,000 customers, finds it very slow. Looking to change. Any one know
Goldmine or MS's CRM? Or know another good one?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
