About John Paterson, CEO & founder

John has used, implemented and overseen more CRM systems than he cares to admit to as a salesperson, sales manager, sales director, COO and CEO. As CEO of CRM vendor Oxygen Solutions it was reinforced to him that the key to successful CRM implementation was very little to do with technology but all to do with getting people to use the system properly, and the key to getting people to use it properly was to make it as easy-to-use, fast and reliable as possible. It was off the back of these experiences that he saw the gap in the market for a simple, straightforward hosted CRM system that was aimed specifically at small and medium sized organisations.

Previous companies that John has run include Systems Union Group (mid-market ERP), Oxygen Solutions (CRM for the finance and pharma industries) and Zeus Technology (Internet infrastructure).
