The professional service sector is going through some significant change –
questions are being asked about how organisations have traditionally
operated. The key challenges driving this change are:

A need to operate globally as well as domestically which presents challenges
around collaboration and data silos

The need to avoid IP loss thanks to inherent risk of the traditional partner
model, and the digital skills gap meaning insights and intellectual
property are not recorded.

The shift to as-a-service which can tighten budgets as BPO partners change
the traditional outsourcing service.

Competition and turbulence at the hands of start-up firms as well as a need
to redefine offers in response to the Big 4 split.

The built environment sector, as with many others, is going through
significant change.

Driven in part by the pandemic and new working models, but also by stiff
competition and a new wave of digitalisation, the property industry needs
to become more connected to their customers and occcupiers.

makes them more likely to make another purchase*. Buyers today want
personalized attention and they want their issues resolved quickly — with

person.

‘CRM’ stands for customer relationship management, which is a technology

with customers and prospects — all in one central location. But it’s not just
a fancy contact list. A CRM solution is one of the most valuable, game-changing pieces of business technology available because of how it helps
you use your customer data.
