One of the biggest industries to rely on contact management systems is real estate. Real estate firms have a lot of clients both individual and corporate. They deal with millions of contact information and this information is stored from the primitive paper-based Rolodex to the most sophisticated database-managed address book.

When choosing contact management software, you should choose an application that is both flexible and user-friendly. This way, you can focus more on your client rather than investing a lot of time learning the software. Selecting a web based contact management application may be the answer. It gives you flexibility as you can access all your contacts anytime, anywhere. And most web based contact management applications are user-friendly because they have a graphical user interface.

Since web based contact management systems are flexible, you can have a remote assistant to manage and carry out your tasks for you. Anyone can access this application as long as he has an internet connection. You do not have to pay for rent or other fees associated with renting an office.

Contact management systems range from the simplest to the most complex. This application can just store your contact information like an electronic address book. The most complex applications can manipulate the data available so that you can send an email only to people who meet the criteria that you specify. You can even configure your software so that different groups of people get different emails at different times.

Contact management systems also come with a price tag. You can settle for free software available on the internet. You can also opt to purchase the most sophisticated of the lot. Keep in mind that purchasing the application also requires you to purchase a license for each of the resource that is going to use the software. So if you are planning to use a remote or virtual assistant, you need to purchase separate licenses for each.
