Use the Force(.com)…..

Nearly every IT department has a number of projects that the business users have asked for, however there is not yet time to take care of these projects. Sadly this list is rarely completed, leaving resentment in the minds of the business users and the IT group feeling overwhelmed.

In every organization that already uses salesforce.com, this does not need to be the case. With the extremely impressive and massively flexible feature set now available with the Force.com platform many of these backlogged projects could be completed in less than 40 hours of work. Some could be resolved in less than 8 hours of work.

You see in 40 hours a certified Salesforce.com consultant can create an application on the platform. This could be a new bug tracking application for the IT group, project management, time tracking, a recruiting app for HR or even hold the list of back logged projects!

The other great news is that with the advent of Force.com Platform Licensing, the new users you are introducing to the system who do not use the CRM features, these seats would cost significantly less (talk to your Force by Design representative to get going with Force.com Platform Licenses). See with Force.com Platform Licensing users get access to the Account, Contact, Task, Event and Custom Objects. They can also reap the benefits of any formula fields, work flows, Apex Code, email templates, mail merge and really everything else the Force.com Platform has to offer.
