Contact Management/Job Status Software

[kermalou]

We have a small, about 10 person accounting office with about 400 clients.

Looking into a couple of things, what would be a good software to use to keep track of clients, who is working on what, and everything else?

What softwares do small business use to do this kind of stuff?

You might look at Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager. http://office.microsoft.com/en...er/FX101674171033.aspx

To be honest, my company which has 15X times more employees and 1/10 as many clients looked at it and it wasn't a fit for us, but each business is different.

We dont use Outlook for our emails at all, even though every computer has it.

Maybe its time to change that.

How about online solutions?

Anybody? Bueller?

If you have some knowledge of databases then you should go for Microsoft Access because it has a front end as well. It is quite effective for smaller applications.

SugarCRM is insanely popular for this. They have an open source edition that you can set up yourself, a preconfigured appliance, or they can host your sugarcrm site for you.
