Chicago, IL -- (SBWire) -- 09/22/2010 -- Intelestream, Inc., the leader in open source CRM consulting developers of intelecrm™, the award winning small business on demand CRM solution, today announced the company has formed a partnership agreement with Root Consulting. The company is joining the Intelestream Channel Network after departing from the SugarCRM™, Inc. partner program. Root Consulting is also utilizing intelecrm as the company’s internal CRM instance.

As an Intelestream Channel Partner, Root Consulting, Inc. is authorized to sell and provide consulting services related to intelecrm. The company made the switch to intelecrm after management determined that the application was better equipped to handle the needs of small and medium sized businesses from both a pricing and a features standpoint.

“It is an honor to welcome Root Consulting, Inc. to our network of channel partners,” states VP of Sales for Intelestream Ray Stoeckicht. “Root Consulting is made up by a team of experts who are well positioned to advise our market base on CRM best practices.”

Root Consulting, Inc. is a 10 year old firm specializing in providing CRM consulting, off-site data recovery and backup services, network design and implementation, on-site cabling installation, voice and data services, Website/Web Application development, and on-site/remote IT support services.

“intelecrm is quickly becoming a market leader in the CRM space. We are impressed by the application’s rich feature set, affordable pricing, and dedication to small and medium sized business,” states Root Consulting Inc.’s Vice President, Bill Insull. “Engaging with Intelestream as a partner provides us more tangible sales opportunities without the prohibitive membership price tag that we faced with SugarCRM, Inc.”

intelecrm Background
Developed by Intelestream in 2008, intelecrm offers enterprise level CRM functionality to small and medium sized businesses. Pricing for the application follows a unique model that charges subscribers according to the quantity of records and data storage used, rather than the number of users accessing the system. Intelestream also has applied what the company terms as a “pay-for-what-you-need” approach to intelecrm. Customers are billed for only the features and add-ons they require, which is an especially appealing option for small businesses on a budget. Basic edition pricing for intelecrm, which includes unlimited users, starts at $20 per month.

The application is designed as an affordable, turn-key CRM solution that can be easily customized according to individual requirements. An internet connection and a web browser are all that is needed to use the application, so getting started is easy.
