#2 – GroupLink eReferrals™
For NetWare & Linux (Also options for GroupWise or other)
Drive – Motivate – Compensate
GroupLink’s eReferral product is a web-based end-to-end referral management system. It is designed for
banks and other financial service institutions to facilitate initiation and management of qualified leads/prospects.
It empowers management to track and improve the referral process from beginning to end — from increasing
profitable referrals to managing and rewarding successful closures. GroupLink’s eReferral product uses a
web-interface to provide comprehensive account and interaction history. Use of this web technology allows
institutions to leverage their existing I.T. investments.

#3 – ContactWise®
SPONSOR / PARTNER

For NetWare & Linux
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Sales Force Automation (SFA) for Novell eDirectory &
GroupWise (or other)
ContactWise allows an organization to maintain a detailed history of all customer interaction. The history tab
gives a complete view of everything happening with a specific contact or account, from referral to sales to
customer service. Salespeople and customer service personnel can add attachments, notes, and other annota-
tions, and view such information in context with everything that has transpired with a particular individual.
See all organization history, categorized by each contact in one window.
Provide a single view of your organization to your customer: whenever your customer calls, each and
every employee will know what the customer’s past interactions have been with your organization, in
order to better enable your organization to meet the customer’s specific needs.
Ensure all customer commitments are met by having appointments & tasks posted to the appropriate
person or department’s calendar (GroupWise or other).
Secure your contact information by assigning rights on who can read, write and delete information.
Mass Mail with automatic mail personalization.
