CRM Watchlist 2013 winners: Social is as social does the mainstream - Nimble review from ZDNet

19/3/2013

The following is part of a review of 3 CRM applications - Get Satisfaction, Lithium and Nimble - written by Paul Greenberg as part of a series of articles critiquing the winners of CRM Watchlist 2013 which was published in ZDnet recently.

I think the review would have to be catagorised as 'tough, but fair'. It emphasises the immense potential that Nimble has, in the SME market in particular, and identifies the key challenges facing the company in the year ahead.
