That is according to a recent [Forrester Research report, “How CRM Evolves to Support Industry Requirements.”](https://www.forrester.com/report/how-crm-evolves-to-support-industry-requirements/RES177471?ref_search=0_1654615740783) The report, which analyzes the impact and potential of CRM tools across several industries, clearly makes the point that industry-specific CRM solutions are increasingly sought after. That is particularly the case among financial services firms. The Forrester report states that industry-specific CRM offerings offer “workflows, user experiences, data models, AI and analytics, and compliant infrastructures purpose-built for the needs of your industry.”[\[i\]](https://resource.nexj.com/blog/forrester-research-report-highlights-the-benefits-of-industry-specific-crm-solutions-for-financial-services-firms#_edn1) The report goes on to state that “enterprises must decide when — not if — to adopt industry capabilities. No enterprise can differentiate solely with out-of-the-box industry CRM.”[\[ii\]](https://resource.nexj.com/blog/forrester-research-report-highlights-the-benefits-of-industry-specific-crm-solutions-for-financial-services-firms#_edn2) According to the Forrester report, industry-specific CRM tools deliver benefits over many dimensions, including: - De-risk cloud migrations - Reduce the burden of regulatory compliance - Drive better software adoption - Drive incremental value creation - Focus the front office on value-added work to better serve customers - Unlock new business models Although the Forrester report cites the degree of industry specificity as “medium” among CRM offerings in financial services because of the broad swath of usage scenarios, at NexJ our [**Integrated Advisor Desktop**](https://www.nexj.ai/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=bluBanner&utm_campaign=nudge_ai_suite&__hstc=158334885.671cf7cd96649afb2afde26428fbe389.1651006891778.1651158766145.1651175137298.3&__hssc=158334885.3.1651175137298&__hsfp=3427262324) is custom-built for the needs and opportunities facing wealth managers.

In fact, as Salesforce has grown larger by acquiring and absorbing smaller competitors and specific products, the organization has seen declining scores in many areas – enough to push Salesforce out of its spot in the Leader quadrant of the Nucleus CRM Value Matrix. Shockingly, 51% of those surveyed said they would replace Salesforce if they could.
