For its contact centres, the company bought a CRM system from Parchment, one of the biggest vendors in the sector.

至於呼叫中心，該公司從該行業最大的供應商之一Parchment那裏購買了客戶關係管理系統(CRM)，

One reason for the choice was that the same supplier had already been used for Northlands, back office systems.

選擇該Parchment供應商的其中一個原因是，Northlands後臺辦公系統也是採用的這家供應商。

In addition, Parchment was able to provide the software much sooner than most of the other potential suppliers.

此外，Parchment能夠比其他大多數潛在供應商提供軟件的速度更快。

One result is that the call centre staff can answer enquiries faster and more effectively, so there are now far fewer repeat calls.

其中一個結果是，呼叫中心的工作人員可以更快更有效地回答諮詢問題，所以現在重複呼叫的次數要少得多。

This has of course been welcomed by the company and customers alike.

當然，這種方法受到了公司和客戶的歡迎。

Water companies like Northlands have a large network of pipes, and the public needs access to water day and night.

像Northlands這樣的水務公司擁有龐大的管道網絡，公衆日夜都需要用水。

This means there has to be a large and complex field operation,

這意味着必須有一個龐大大而複雜的施工作業，

and in this area, too, the CRM system has produced great savings, in both time and money.

而且，CRM系統在該領域節省了大量的時間和金錢。

For example, instead of coming into the office to be given work, and information about customers, the engineers are connected to the system via laptop computers,

例如，工程師們不是到辦公室工作接收客戶信息，而是通過筆記本電腦與系統連接，

giving them access to all the information they need.

接觸到所需的全部信息。

This gives them autonomy, and means they can do a much better job than before.

這給了他們自主權，意味着他們可以更好地完成工作。
