Anite Calculus broadens its offering with CRM capability

Billing systems supplier Anite Calculus has formed a strategic partnership with CRM vendor eWare to provide a wider service offering and exploit common markets and opportunities between the two companies.

This is the first partnership that Anite Calculus has made with a CRM vendor and demonstrates the importance of the convergence between all aspects of customer management, from marketing through to billing.

eWares CRM solution is provided over a web-based platform -- a significant point of difference between it and other players in the market. Gerry Carr, corporate marketing manager for eWare explains, We formed this partnership because there are a number of real and current business opportunities between ourselves and Anite Calculus. So many alliances between IT companies simply boil down to logo-swapping" -- but we ensure that any partnership we undertake is for valid and current business reasons."

He continues, Anite Calculus is the best of breed in its arena -- and its young and fast moving corporate culture bears many similarities to that of eWare. In addition -- both companies solutions are well-regarded for being flexible and fast to implement within our respective markets -- so we believe we can deliver a genuine bonus to our customers through the partnership."

Paul Fitzgerald, sales and marketing director of Anite Calculus adds, We have been very impressed with eWare and the company is already proving to be a perfect partner for us. The addition of CRM functionality to our product portfolio is the next logical step for us and the flexible, web-based platform is exactly what our customers want and need. We very much look forward to working together over the coming months."
