“Hitachi Solutions’ thriving Microsoft Dynamics CRM practice combined with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM product expertise, market share, and financial services industry focus of our newly acquired partner Customer Effective positioned us as a frontrunner in this competition; however, I think what really pushed us to the top is our passion for customers and the infectious energy of our people.”
