The news as of the first coffee this morning, and the music is Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited, possibly the greatest rock album any American's ever recorded:
Austin, Texas-based Gila Corporation, through its two business units, MSB and Gila Group, recently converted its in-house customer relationship management product to a Web-based application provided by salesforce.com.
"We looked at a number of products and salesforce.com proved to be the most robust and scalable," commented Bruce Cummings, Gila Corporation's Chief Marketing Officer.
Gila has experienced rapid expansion since it restructured its internal operations, with "a total focus on the customer," Cummings said: "As part of the process redesign, we needed a better way to manage our relationships with all clients, large and small."
Cumming maintains "It really is about showing our customers the love and what I mean by that is effectively managing data to best serve their needs as they define them, which requires flexibility for each client."
Gila Corporation sells outsourced revenue recovery products and services in the country. The company provides specialized collections services for governmental entities and financial institutions nationwide.

Mena Telecom has signed a contract with Motorola to plan, deploy and manage a nationwide 802.16e-based mobile WiMAX and IP Multimedia Subsystem network in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Under the terms of the contract, Motorola will also take responsibility for the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, as well as the technical operations of the project and management of the entire WiMAX/IMS network.
The 802.16e WiMAX standard delivers "significant advantages" over the fixed 802.16d standard that is being used by some operators, including advanced antenna technology to improve capacity and range performance, Motorola officials say.
This agreement will enable Mena Telecom to use Motorola's abilities in mobile WiMAX and deliver wireless broadband connectivity as well as advanced voice and nomadic broadband data services to both business and residential customers across the Kingdom of Bahrain.
With Motorola's WiMAX product, Mena Telecom's infrastructure will be compatible with technology to be embedded in numerous future devices, including laptops.
The end-to-end network, operating in the 3.5GHz frequency band, will comprise WiMAX infrastructure, IMS core, Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), voice and data applications, and operational and business support systems.
The Kingdom of Bahrain will be one of the first countries in the world to deploy a nationwide WiMAX 802.16e-based network, Motorola officials say.
