  Re: CRM for Change Management Reply Contact So, here are details: 1. we have MS CRM3.0 with posibility to upgrade it to CRM4.0 2. there is a request to use CRM4 to implement a sort of Change Management and ticketing system for our small environment: 30 servers and 20 applications developed in-house. 3. Change and ticketing mgmt should be based on typical ITIL process: approvals and implementation phases and so on and so forth.... Tell me if you need more info from my side.. thanks,

  Re: CRM for Change Management Reply Contact Meugen I see that seems pretty straight forward, I would recommend the move to v4.0 due to the better workflow functionality which will help you drive your process.  What i'm not quite sure on is is this help desk type senario purly for internal infastructure or customer infastructure, I think what I am trying to get to is will the cases, or work tickets be associated to a single customer i.e. internal or a number of customers that are external to the organisation. The approach that I would take is to use the core account and contact entities for modeling the customer data , use service contract to manage the number of tickets (if this is just internal you can get away from using the service contracts unless departments are billable) and then customise the case entity to be you case / work ticket. Let me know if that helps Alistair   www.crmdeplyment.co.uk Your Business, Your Customers, Your Way CRM: It’s a successful business methodology, powered by smart technology http://alistairdickinson.blogspot.com
