Telephony Integration with Salesforce CRM: Success Story

Scope

We were inspired by a customer who was on Vonage using their CTI integration with one of the top CRMs — Salesforce. It was buggy, and it didn’t work well. And they had a team of 300 employees. We were able to deliver a solution that was much better, and acquire that customer.

Vinix was already the industry’s most advanced service provisioner. Now they’ve taken their software up to the next level.

Challenges

Most of our fears had to do with lack of experience in taking our software development efforts out and working with an outside supplier on a strategical part of our product line. The usual business fears: not getting what we paid for, not getting a quality product, not getting good response time. That was the key.

Process

I talked to Velvetech’s CEO Yuri and was confident they could do it. They were very prompt and professional, with good conceptualization. So we pulled the trigger and ran with it.

Velvetech did research and came up with questions for the core engineering team. I had seen from their experience when I googled them, that they had already worked with the telecom platform KAZOO.

Results

I couldn’t be more happy with the decision! It really was a gamble and I had to convince my team and my investors, but it really paid off. I crunched the numbers of doing it in-house or with a third party; the numbers made more sense to go outside.

Plans

Salesforce is the largest CRM in the world. To have that Salesforce CTI integration and be able to provide this for future customer acquisition and future customer growth . . . it’s immeasurable.
