Aplus.Net Announces Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Hosting

San Diego, CA – July 27th, 2005 – Web hosting and design firm Aplus.Net today announced the launch and immediate availability of iCRM Pro, a comprehensive customer relationship management (CRM) solution for small businesses that need an excellent sales tool and award-winning hosting. Aplus.Net is the first web-hosting company to provide such a comprehensive customer care package.

iCRM Pro allows small businesses to work more efficiently with existing and prospective customers, by supplying online tools for managing customer relations for both existing and prospective customers.  With the help of the iCRM Pro package, businesses can expect a shorter sales cycle, improved customer interaction and technical support, as well as fewer administrative and IT costs.

“This is an easy to use, professional solution for businesses that are ready to get serious about sales and customer support automation,” explains Ivan Vachovsky, Chief Executive Officer of Aplus.Net. “iCRM Pro can be setup in a matter of hours and accessed from anywhere in the world via the Web. All the user needs is an Internet connection and the desire to beat the competition by improving customer satisfaction!”

Customers using the iCRM Pro service will receive their own copy of the popular, feature-rich open-source SugarCRM product.  Aplus.Net handles the installation and maintenance of the software, and hosts the application in its state of the art data center. Hence small business owners do not need to engage in the time intensive and expensive tasks of installing and maintaining a professional CRM package.  Aplus.Net will be offering the iCRM Pro service for $29.95 a month with a $25 setup fee. 

The product is another web hosting industry first for Aplus.Net.  In November, Aplus.Net was the first company to offer a hosted web conferencing package (with features and pricing that rival offerings by industry leaders such as WebEx and Microsoft).  More recently, the company was responsible for yet another industry first by introducing its DomainLab™ product, which helps individuals find better domain names in the increasingly crowded World Wide Web.
