Capsule CRM Online Solution

I found this Software from a friend who recommended it and have used it personally and commercially for a CRM package, it's a great package I have to say. It's fully customisable, the support team are fast to respond and it's really simple to use and integrate. In fact I like it that much I even thought I'd promote it a little bit!
So if anyone is looking at this software OR looking for a small to medium CRM solution then this is certainly an option to consider!

Get a complete contact view
The contact page gives you a bird’s eye view of everything you know about a contact so that you can keep track of the people, companies and other organizations that you do business with.

■ Share contacts with co-workers ensuring you all have a single up-to-date view of the contact.

■ Categorize contacts using tags that you define and that are relevant to your business such as lead, customer, vendor etc. You can even customize Capsule to record additional information when a tag is applied. E.g. lead source when a person is tagged as a lead.

■ Easily add notes about conversations you've had, meeting outcomes, how the contact is known to you etc.

■ Track all email communications by sending emails from Outlook or any email client into Capsule. The email becomes part of the contact's history along with attachments so it’s easily available in one place. Capsule will automatically create a new contact for you if it doesn't find a match in your account.

■ Attach documents, agreements, proposals and other files.

■ Import contacts from Outlook, Gmail, vCard, spreadsheets and any CSV file

Make sure things get done
Manage your to-do list and calendar using tasks in Capsule to ensure things don't get forgotten.

■ Create tasks for appointments, meetings, phone calls, submission deadlines etc.

■ Link tasks with contacts, opportunities or cases so it's easy to refer back to what the task was about

■ Share tasks with co-workers.

■ If you have standard processes such as the way you approach each sale configure these as "Tracks" in Capsule to enable the same set of tasks to be followed for each sales opportunity or case. Each task in a track can be linked to the previous task. For example, a "call back" task can be set due 5 days after an "initial call" task.

Scan to Email - Exchange 2007

I find it amazing really that this is the first encounter I've had with this issue especially since SBS 2008 has been out so long but here we are. We had an issue where a network copier/scanner wouldn't scan to email (internally). Even using credentials to try and authenticate wouldn't work, it turns out that Exchange 2007 is now a lot more secure than 2003 was and so you have to run through the config below to allow relaying from a specific device.

■Open the Exchange Management Console and go to Server Configuration/Hub Transport

■Click “New Receive Connector”

■Give the new connector a meaningful name (“Copier Relay”), select Custom as the type, and you can leave the port as 25 or try a different port it depends how complicated you want your network. Any other free port will be ok though. Follow this through leaving internal network as is and then in the second window you want to setup your copiers IP so that only this can relay using this connector.

■Right-click the new connector, go to Properties make the following settings: Permission Groups Tab; Anonymous Users only. Authentication Tab; Transport Layer Security (TLS) only.

■Open the Exchange Management Shell and run the following command: Get-ReceiveConnector “Copier Relay“ | Add-ADPermission -User “NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON” -ExtendedRights “ms-Exch-SMTP-Accept-Any-Recipient”. Note that the “Copier Relay” name is what was used in this example and you should change the command to match what you named the new connector.

■Restart the MS Exchange Transport service.(Important)

■Configure the Scanner/Copier/MFP to use the SMTP connector, including the port number you set up.

...and hey-presto it should all work fine.
