The pharmaceutical industry demands both classical CRM solutions and systems that are optimally developed on the CRM platform (xRM). Meeting these demands is crucial to NNIT and with the acquisition of ChannelCRM we strengthen our ability to provide consultancy, development and operation of CRM systems based on Microsoft CRM.

Pharmaceutical businesses have high demands for IT security, documentation and traceability and they will benefit from the combination of ChannelCRM's profound experience with CRM/xRM solutions and NNIT's expertise in the specific conditions of the pharmaceutical industry, including compliance, regulatory demands and market, says Sune Andersen, Corporate Vice President of NNIT's ERP Division.

CRM specifically for pharma

This acquisition follows NNIT's recent partnership agreement with Trueblue making NNIT exclusive vendor in most European markets of Trueblue's CRM suite, developed by Trueblue and based on the Microsoft Dynamics(R) platform. Trueblue's industry-leading CRM solution specifically for the pharmaceutical industry is already adopted by marketers in several major multinational companies.

The partners offer clients CRM services combining NNIT's strategic consulting, systems integration and hosting services with Trueblue's strong portfolio of CRM solutions, including sales force automation, multichannel contact management and analytical CRM.

With the addition of ChannelCRM's capabilities NNIT can now offer pharmaceutical marketers an even stronger CRM solution.
