Key Insights / Outcomes

Enterprises use two buckets of evaluation criteria: “must have” or hygiene criteria, and “good to have” criteria.

Regulated and security-conscious enterprises quote data-residency and on-prem residency as qualifying or “must-have” criteria before considering any CRM solution.

As the size of the enterprise increases, decision making becomes more complex and time consuming due to higher number of decision makers (CIO or CDO, functional heads).

TCO, vertical differentiation and integration (existing and new systems) are top three “good to have” criteria that drive consideration.
