sales@appjetty.com Effective Way to Provide Secure Access to Your Partners for Your SugarCRM For an enterprise business, there must be several thirdparty business stakeholders. To bring them all on one platform demands a CRM Portal. You may choose to develop one for yourself. Or, look for an agency to do it for you. Both come with cost and time. There’s a third option, look for CRM extensions. But, is it viable for your data security? www.appjetty.com
sales@appjetty.com An enterprise business having a significant number of partners across the globe is pretty common. A partner portal is an ideal solution for such businesses. It can create a data sharing platform that provides specific information to the external stakeholders without clutter or data security breaches. It is an ideal method to establish automated communication process and “selfservice” mechanism for the endusers of your CRM. Results of Case Study Published on Sugar A recent case study published on SugarCRM Blog shared a story of a Construction & Engineering giant. On an average, their staff spent about 20 hours per person every week to manage the communications with their suppliers. They integrated their Accounting programs and customized the SugarCRM modules. Further, they built specialty Portals for subcontractors and internal departments. Results? 30% increase in project management efficiency, streamlined resourcesharing and reduced time for meetings. www.appjetty.com
sales@appjetty.com Possible size of the Partner Network for an enterprise and the current scenario of how they communicate with your business, and the business processes: Before We Get on to DataSecurity Usually, even with the current technology, having the Sugar deployment and everything else, the communication follows the traditional way. Emails, Phone calls, even WhatsApp at times is the standard interface for this PartnerEmployee communication. You are a little advanced, you prefer Slack, or Skype. It all boils down to two people at different location, for one of them requiring certain piece of information which could be readily available on your Sugar. This method is timeconsuming and oftentimes redundant. The critical challenge is due to “not having” a gateway. The enduser of the CRM your external stakeholder does not have access to your CRM through a secure channel. A SugarCRM Partner Portal could be the fix of this issue. And, that does not even spike a debate similar to whether companies have CRM or not. Absolutely elementary stuff! www.appjetty.com
sales@appjetty.com So Coming Back Now to Deployment… Taking matters at hand is heroic. But, is that heroism needed? The question I asked most my clients during my interaction with them is that are you a technology company? If yes be my guest, and develop your way to growth. If not, the technology changes, so does the CRM integration challenges, and you would require to work with them while you focus on your core business expertise. So, let an expert do this for you. Here, we came to an agency. Similar to ours. Honestly, if you find a technology partner with right skillset, it isn’t really a pickle you are in. Earlier option certainly is. However, this would still require some of your time in Project Management, and vetting the resources. Once you are through that stage, an agency like ours would require a decent amount of time to get through the development of your SugarCRM Partner Portal. Deployment with CRM Extensions For starters, we also have an extension to build a SugarCRM Partner Portal. And, there are many others available in the market, too. www.appjetty.com
sales@appjetty.com The method of this integration is rather similar to what you did when you deployed Sugar. You integrated the CRM with your website for the CRM to fetch the data. Now, you require that CRM data to flow back into another website the CRM Portal. So Where does the Security Breach come? Not all extensions just fetch the data from the CRM and pass on to the CRM Portals. If they require processing this data, your CRM data is going to be exposed to the vulnerabilities on the database and server setup of the owner of this extension. Also, some extensions carry the code of analytics to track the hits, users, etc. Here, the extension is sharing partial data from your CRM to the thirdparty analytics platform. AppJetty SugarCRM Customer Portal Do not be off by the name. Our SugarCRM Customer Portal can be used for any use case of your integration from CRM to the CRM Portal. We understand this security concern, we aimed to build a solution that does arise this concern at all. www.appjetty.com
sales@appjetty.com Our architecture simply connects your CRM with the CMS or custom admin of the Portal. It is a bridge with anonymity to ensure that there is no leakage of data due to this integration. I would still not say that your CRM data is secure while using this extension/plugin. But, it would not add any vulnerabilities. You would be hosting this CRM data on your secure servers, just the way you have done it at present. So, any possible breach of this data can only trigger from your setup that I believe you would be in control to take care of.
