- Integration with SAP ECC and BI systems is one of the reasons for using most of the SAP CRM systems, because it has such robust CRM middleware integration, especially when setting up integration with ECC. It is really an online data process and helps data flow without any issues/errors.

Business process and operations keep changing, when we choose all the available products, there were various features in SAP CRM which fit close to our requirements. That was one of the reasons for choosing it. Again it depends on the industry, and business operations, which drives [the decision] to choose the right product.
As per current business requirements, there are various web based SaaS products available, but they may not fulfill all the features that we have in the SAP CRM on-premise application.
