Cendyn/ONE Also Recognized for Innovation and Focus on Data Intelligence as a Competitive Advantage
Boca Raton, Fla. – Feb. 24, 2015 – In a recent study by Info-Tech Research Group, Inc., which evaluated leading vendors' CRM suites for the gaming, hospitality and leisure industries, Cendyn/ONE™ claimed two of three overall awards-Trend Setter for the most original and inventive solution, as well as Best Overall Value for offering the most affordable, robust CRM solution.
In addition, Cendyn/ONE was the only vendor to achieve an overall exemplary rating in the CRM Product Category based on features, usability, affordability, and architecture. Other vendors included Guestware, Infor, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, and SugarCRM. The Info-Tech study focused on those CRM vendors that offer broad capabilities across multiple platforms and have a strong market presence and/or reputational presence among mid and large-sized enterprises.
Cendyn/ONE's dedication to pioneering innovative, integrated CRM solutions based on Data Intelligence™ led to the Trend Setter Award. The Info-Tech study noted the increasing importance of data as a source of competitive advantage, and Cendyn/ONE's trendsetting reporting and analytics features built on top of the powerful IBM Cognos reporting engine. These features also helped Cendyn/ONE earn an exemplary rating in the CRM Customer Analytics category.
"We help our clients turn data into insights that lead to measurable impact," said Cendyn/ONE President Tim Sullivan.

According to Info-Tech, vendors that score high offer more "bang for the buck" in terms of features, usability, stability, and other key factors. The average Value Index score among Cendyn/ONE's competitors was 59.5.
