Independent Research Firm Cites NexJ For Finance and Insurance -Vertical Focus

Report covers increasing emphasis on mobile sales capability, integration with other software products, real-time actionable insight, and usability in sales force automation solutions

TORONTO, Dec. 17, 2014 /CNW/ - NexJ Systems Inc. (TSX: NXJ), a provider of enterprise solutions to the financial services and insurance industries, is pleased to be cited by Forrester Research for our financial services-focused CRM solution. NexJ Contact is a customer-centric, integrated CRM solution. It provides robust functionality to address the unique challenges faced by the financial services industry that cannot be solved by horizontal CRM solutions.

Upon evaluation, NexJ was found to provide "deep support for industry-specific sales processes such as a hierarchy-based architecture for personal and corporate associations and guided selling forms specifically set up for wealth management products. They feature mobile solutions geared toward wealth managers presenting to potential or current clients … They integrate with Microsoft Outlook so you can log emails from any device and feature a clean, modern UI with customizable tabs that a user can open, drag, and dock," notes Forrester Research Inc., in Market Overview: Enterprise Sales Force Automation Solutions, by Fraser Tibbetts, Kate Leggett, December 15, 2014.

Comprehensive CRM suites such as NexJ Contact provide a deeper understanding of customer needs and opportunities than a standalone sales force automation solution. The optimal solution to drive sales team effectiveness offers an easy-to-use comprehensive view of customer information; the right content at the right time; real-time access to actionable insight; and integration with back-office systems and third party applications. Mobile access to data is equally important to sales teams.

"NexJ Contact helps financial services firms enhance productivity, enable proactive service, build customer loyalty, and drive revenue. We believe this industry recognition validates our leadership position in financial services as demonstrated by our selection by 4 of the 6 top wealth management firms," says Paul DeVriendt, Senior Vice President, Products for NexJ Systems.

The report suggests that firms with complex selling needs may be best served by a customizable, on-premise solution. The majority of NexJ's financial services customers choose to deploy NexJ Contact on-premise, in a private cloud. In addition, NexJ enables firms to build a logical view of key customer data shared across lines of business, regions, and channels that respects different business needs and satisfies regional data residency requirements.
