Really Simple Systems - http://www.reallysimplesystems.com - Europe's largest vendor of Cloud CRM systems, today announces that it has now signed up 10,000 new Cloud CRM users to Really Simple Systems' Free Edition web based CRM service.

Paterson comments, "Nine months later and that figure has already been exceeded. I think with the acceleration in growth, user take-up will be closer to 15,000 by the time the product has been on the market for a year."

Really Simple Systems' Free Edition is a free two-user, hosted CRM system that covers the complete sales process from initial enquiry to task management and pipeline reporting. Paterson continues, "Free Edition was launched as part of Really Simple Systems' strategy to be the largest global CRM vendor in terms of users within the next three years. This milestone is the first big step on the way to achieving that and we are incredibly pleased with the overwhelmingly positive response there has been to the launch in such a short space of time."

And it is not just Really Simple Systems' free solution that is experiencing impressive take up. There are now 180 users of the new Premium Edition and 2,000 users of the Enterprise Edition.

Paterson adds, "By focussing on what people really need and ease of use, Really Simple Systems is delivering CRM to small and medium sized businesses without the expense of a high touch sales and support process, passing this saving to the customer. Cloud Computing is replacing expensive and complex enterprise software systems with easy to use products such as web based CRM at consumer prices.
