Intelestream responds to growing demand for Social CRM from small and medium sized companies by adding a Twitter integration tool to the online CRM application intelecrm. The company is in the process of developing additional Social CRM components including modules supporting Facebook, LinkedIn, and Jigsaw networks.

Chicago, IL, April 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Intelestream, Inc., a leading provider in CRM consulting and CRM Software as a Service today announced the company has broken ground in the social CRM revolution by successfully adding a Twitter integration tool to intelecrm, the award winning online CRM solution for small and medium sized businesses. The company is currently developing additional Social CRM components including modules for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Jigsaw.

“We have taken a true pulse of the SMB market through research and by listening to what our customers have to say. Without a doubt, there is serious demand for Social CRM. What began as a fad has turned into a serious trend that is transforming the way we think about CRM,” comments Ray Stoeckicht, VP of Sales for Intelestream. “We have broken ground in the world of Social CRM by integrating a powerful Twitter module that is fully integrated with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support CRM processes. Our development road map includes a number of new Social CRM features that we’ll roll out over the next two quarters to complete the picture.”

The Twitter Pro module for intelecrm allows users to search Twitter for specific keywords, track related tweets, save tweets as records in intelecrm, convert tweet records as leads, and send external tweets – all within the intelecrm environment.
