Small manufacturing company, we have been using Goldmine CRM for very many years now (current edition 2014), predominantly single use from an office location. Our requirements are therefore basic and I have seen little advantage in upgrading to later versions of GM over the years when few of the annual new features seemed to be relevant in our circumstances. The arrival of Windows 10 has changed all that however and an upgrade to the latest W10 compatible version will be inevitable. Questions are being asked if there is merit in considering alternative CRM systems, and if so which one(s). In my view any alternative would have to offer very significant and distinct advantages indeed in order to overcome the "compatibility" issue: If as a result of changing from one system to another many hours / days / months would be required in transferring both data and links / relationships, then the exercise would be self defeating. I would take some convincing that all this was included in the "installation".package. UK based support would be invaluable.
Would readers agree or disagree with the viewpoint of sticking with the devil you know - which serves its purpose - or am I being unduly cynical? Tks for any advice.
