Nimble Social CRM: Aggregates Contacts, Calendars, Emails and Social Media

[DEMO Spring 2011] Social media and social CRM is a hot topic these days, and companies large and small want their share of the pie. Nimble promises to offer the benefits of social CRM to small businesses by integrating LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google, email contacts and conversations into one “seamless, intuitive environment”. Nimble managed to integrates the “4Cs”: contact, calendar, communications and collaboration, but I do not see how different this is from the latest version of Outlook that now integrates Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn , thanks to its Outlook Social Connector. Another product that could have similarities to Nimble is Zendesk. I may have the opportunity to ask the company’s founder Jon Ferrara about his product differentiation here at DEMO, I will update this article then.

Nimble’s Key Features (from the press release)
