How We Helped Colliers Indiana Attract Top Brokers Thanks to Their CRM

For the last 11 years, Ascendix Technologies has helped Colliers International Indiana to customize their CRM software and to keep it up-to-date. Back in 2007, we started with Microsoft Dynamics implementation and customized it to meet the specifics of the real estate industry. Today, we keep supporting the system and help Colliers automate their key business processes.
