Our understanding of brief and requirements

. One of the most important assets of a sales force is its information. This asset is used for two
purposes: operational record keeping and decision making. CHAI's needs a robust CRM tool to
capture sales information on the following:

Representatives and managers


Health Care Providers (HCP)
Products
Sales
Key messages and promotional items
Calls
Plans
Regions and territories

The CRM tool should also have visualization and reporting capabilities and workflow logic that
meets CHAI's business requirements (for example, sales planning).

Basic Architecture

The solution we propose consists of three layers

Layer I: In the first layer we will have the User interface components. This includes any device
which will be used by a user to interact with the CRM in order to perform his/her duties. A user
interface component can be a browser running on a PC or laptop or a mobile device with
appropriate capabilities.

Layer II: In the second layer we will have the Workflow and Business Intelligence modules.

Layer III: In the third layer we will have CRM integrated with GIS and Inventory management
modules. These two modules will manage the data captured on the following:

Representatives and managers


Health Care Providers (HCP)
Products
Sales
Key messages and promotional items
Calls
Plans
Regions and territories

The entire solution will primarily be built using open, flexible and extensible frameworks such as (Android,
SugarCRM, Drupal, etc). Drupal and SugarCRM can be easily bent and twisted to solve whatever needs
your organization has. We're able to provide deep integrations into the Microsoft Office suite using java,
php, python, .NET and many other technologies. Through web services will provide a clean, non-invasive
way to interact with the CRM tool.
