Upgrading from GoldMine Corporate Edition to GoldMine Premium Edition

This April, Concentrix is able to pass on some serious discounts to anyone looking at upgrading from GoldMine Corporate Edition to GoldMine Premium Edition.

With a minimum of five users, we can offer existing GoldMine Corporate Edition customers upgrade and additional licences of GoldMine Premium Edition with savings of between £100 and £215 per licence.

What's more, you can order a combination of upgrades and new licences, each with big price reductions. This makes a significant difference to the total cost of upgrading and makes April 2008 a great time to move up to GoldMine Premium Edition and bring real benefits to your business. And don’t forget you can access a free, fully interactive online demo version of GoldMine Premium Edition. Alternatively if you would like a one-to-one demonstration of GoldMine Premium Edition software call us on 01509 410 500 or email Concentrix.

We can only provide these prices for a month: if you're interested you must place your order before 30^th April 2008. Maintenance remains at the usual cost per user.

We hope you can take advantage of these discounts, and if you need any further information about this offer, please contact us.

Sage CRM event Donnington Park, Derby, 30th April

With a number of serious sporting events on the horizon, Sage is running a ‘Fit for Business’ campaign to demonstrate how their products, particularly their CRM software (Sage CRM and Sage SalesLogix) can dramatically improve the health of businesses. As part of the campaign, they are presenting a number of seminars around the country with accredited Sage Business Partners.

One of the main Sage Fit for Business events for Sage CRM solutions will be held at Donnington Park Grand Prix Circuit, near Derby on Wednesday, April 30th 2008. As a key Sage Business Partner in the midlands, Concentrix will also be attending. 

The event will show Sage CRM software in action how it can achieve real-world business solutions. As well as demonstrations, presentations and a chance to talk directly to experts from Sage, Concentrix will also be inviting at least one of our customers who use Sage CRM or SalesLogix so you can talk to them and hear about their experiences directly.

For more info about the event is here, or visit Sage’s Fit for Business Microsite. To book a place please click here.

GoldMine Standard Support, GoldMine Premium Price offer.

FrontRange Solutions, the producers of the GoldMine suite of CRM solutions, will no longer support GoldMine Standard Edition after the end of April 2008.   

If you're a Concentrix customer still using GoldMine Standard Edition, we will of course endeavour to provide the best possible service to you. However, please bear in mind Concentrix will no longer receive software updates, patches or direct support for the product from FrontRange Solutions. 

FrontRange announced over a year ago that they would withdraw support for GoldMine Standard Edition in April 2008. To coincide with this we’re offering GoldMine Premium Edition licenses at a reduced cost, so maybe now would be a good time to upgrade?

If you’re interested in upgrading from GoldMine Standard Edition to GoldMine Premium Edition, we are offering GoldMine Premium licenses at the reduced price until the end of April. The discounted price of GoldMine Premium Edition is for a minimum of five users but can be a combination of upgrades and new licences.

If you have any questions about the termination of FrontRange's support for GoldMine Standard Edition, need more details on our April offer price of GoldMine Premium Edition or would like to discuss further please get in touch (April's reduced cost offer is open to anyone, not just Concentrix customers). Meanwhile if you'd like a preview, here's an online demo of GoldMine Premium Edition.

Don't forget, our next Customer Surgery on Friday 4th April 2008 will provide a good opportunity to discuss the issues around GoldMine Standard Edition in depth. As well as considering upgrading to GoldMine Premium Edition, you may also wish to discuss alternatives such as Sage CRM or Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Please contact [email protected] to book a place on the customer surgery.

Sage CRM Online Tour

Sage has produced an online tour of Sage CRM. Complete with voiceover, it is a self-paced film which provides an overview of the product, its features and benefits.

For those not familiar with the product, Sage CRM 6.1 (the latest version of the product) is a fully featured Customer Relationship Management System from one of the UK’s leading business solutions providers. As an accredited Sage Business Partner, Concentrix has helped deploy Sage CRM to deliver significant and measurable benefits to companies throughout the UK.

The online tour introduces the key features of Sage CRM, including screenshots and animations. It will be most suited to people new to the product or CRM systems generally, or looking to compare it to other CRM software.

Recruitment Evening 23rd April 2008

Since the company was founded in 1999, Concentrix has steadily and strategically expanded to become one of the leading providers of business solutions and CRM software in the Midlands. Over the years we’ve grown from just two people to nearly 50.

Because of this expansion, we’re actively seeking more people to join our dedicated team of professionals. Positions include:

·         Sales Executives

·         Marketing Assistants

·         Telesales Personnel

·         Support Desk Advisors

·         Software developers

If you’re interested in any of these roles, we’re holding a recruitment evening on Wednesday, 23^rd April. We hope the recruitment evening will give potential employees the opportunity to find out about the jobs, have a look around the company and talk to existing staff. Most of these jobs are new positions created in line with the expansion plans of the company. 

You’ll need to book an appointment first, but the recruitment evening will be less formal than an interview. One of the reasons we’re inviting people here is so we can meet people in a more relaxed manner than a traditional interview. Also Concentrix is a highly professional environment to work in, and holding a recruitment evening gives us the chance to show potential employees how we work. 

If you’re interested in booking a place on the recruitment evening or need more information, there’s further details (including a press release) on the Concentrix website here or contact [email protected].
