Behavioral Healthcare Has an EHR Problem. But It’s Probably Not the Problem You Think.
A few years ago, if you had asked me whether behavioral healthcare needed another EHR, I probably would have said no. Actually, I might have said something less polite than that. The healthcare technology market does not exactly suffer from a lack of software. There are EHRs, EMRs, billing systems, scheduling systems, patient portals, telehealth platforms, CRM tools, reporting tools, and probably twelve other categories I am forgetting because I am trying to preserve my will

9 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Started Customizing Zoho CRM
When we first started customizing Zoho CRM for serious business operations, I had the same thought most reasonably technical people probably have: this should be pretty straightforward.

We Tried to Build a Better CRM for Business Brokers. Then We Realized the CRM Wasn’t the Problem.
I’ll admit something that probably won’t make me sound like a genius. When we first started thinking about software for business brokers and commercial real estate brokers, I thought we were building a better CRM. A CRM for business brokers seemed logical enough. Brokers have contacts, sellers, buyers, listings, deals, notes, tasks, and follow-ups. That sounds like CRM territory, right? Well, yes and no. A CRM is part of the answer, but it is not the whole answer. The deeper
