May 2009 - Internal Selling Techniques
Over the last few months I have presented my idea of using the Oracle Siebel CRM product as a Project Management and Requirements Gathering Tool, to several Oracle Partners and Customers with the following feedback:
· A lower cost, read only version of Siebel Tools for Business Analysts would be welcome
· A Data Mart tied to the Siebel Repository used for Application Object Management Dependency Analysis would be welcome and save time on current projects
· A Requirements Gathering and Tracking Tool will meet strong resistance until a Business Process Diagramming capability is available and it will continue to meet resistance until there is a single application framework in use.
The Prototype for the above products done in my spare time has been well received and a good use of my energy. The Prototype has also opened the door to Oracle's Siebel Product Development team who are now contemplating the release of the Client based Repository and Data Mart Views.
