Siebel CRM On-Demand is a hosted version of the market's leading
product Siebel OnPremise. Siebel unveiled a pricing model for CRM
On-Demand. For a payment per month per user, organizations (or even
individuals) can sign up for the service.
The way Siebel has improved on the current industry model is by
offering both hosted and premise products on the same data schema. A
company can start out using the hosted system, then switch to an on-site
system as soon as it becomes financially attractive. A company could
trade its premise system for Siebel CRM OnDemand, or do some
combination of hosted and on-site software.
Siebel is not dogmatic about how subscription pricing should be done.
The company promises to sell multi-year, multi-site plans one time,
quarterly or annually, depending on the customer's needs and wants.
Siebel also improves on the current model by leveraging the fact that it
offers the most functionally rich applications on the market. CRM
On-Demand includes built-in analytics that identify a variety of things,
including data about why deals are won or lost, who the most profitable
customers are, and projected versus historical revenue. The analytic
capabilities extend to create interactive charts, pivot tables and reports.
CRM On-Demand also supports multiple currencies and languages,
including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and
Chinese.
Those who seemed to find the offering most compelling include
customers with small divisions, customers with remote offices in
locations with limited IT support, and customers with large networks of
captive and non-captive dealers.
By listening to customers, rather than cannibalizing its current offering,
Siebel seems to have found a way to offer a hosted model that extends
its current offering and at the same time increases its appeal to new
customers.
