We also see client applications being run from the server, making it easier to update software. • We see Siebel creating free single user software to get people acquainted with how the software works. It also helps standardize the systems that run it. People around the world can download the free version and be able to view the same database the same way.

  12. DSIR • When new companies start up, some of the people involved in the company would have worked on some kind of CRM software, or other applications that siebel systems or a competitor has created. • Just the fact that a person has the experience on a certain software can increase the potential for the company to want to use that software.
