October 02, 2006 - “Customer Relationship Management is quickly becoming a critical component for managing sales optimization and customer service in the Industrial setting,” says Dr. Barry Lawrence the Texas A & M program director. Dr. Lawrence noted, “The Commence software will provide qualified students with hands-on experience with the use of CRM tools to enable “lean processes” for sales execution. The university cannot endorse any company as leader in their field] Commence applications and this business relationship supports the University’s mission to promote and develop long-term partnerships with companies that foster interaction in education, research, and professional development.”
“We are pleased to have entered into this partnership with Texas A & M,” says Larry Caretsky, president of Commence Corporation. “The University offers one of the top-ranked North American academic programs for Engineering and Industrial Distribution. The use of our CRM software for educational purposes will mean that the graduates of this program will be highly trained, marketable, and successful in helping their future employers become more effective and lean in their sales and service organizations”.

One of the key distinctions Commence brings to the table, unlike many generic CRM solutions, is a comprehensive understanding of lean manufacturing principles and methodologies.

Students are learning these methodologies at Texas A & M and will bring them into the workforce when they graduate.
