Siebel CRM On Demand Comparison with competitors

Can anyone share the Siebel CRM On Demand competitors comparison chart details or presentation.
Thanks!

I do not think there is any independent comparison chart. Every vendor might provide one showing their product beats everyone else. Gartner and Forester ranks CRM On Demand as the leaders in the CRM Space. They are still behind salesforce.com.
I would suggest look at the functions you are trying to achieve and see which software would make sense. CRM on Demand is on a growth curve while salesforce has stabilized in the market space. CRM on Demand has some of the key functionality from Siebel and I can see they making rapid advancements. Salesforce has lot of partners. CRMOD R16 is going to be a major release with regards to functionality. Issue with CRMOD is they never tell you when they are coming out with a new release. This kind of sux!!.
R15 of CRMOD has only 3 custom objects and R16 is expected to come out with somewhere between 8 - 30. Salesforce already has more than 30 custom objects (depending on the version).
Salesforce data center architecture has been questioned of late - since all the salesforce customers were out for 40 minutes sometime last week. This will not happen in Oracle with their Pod Structure. One pod going down wont bring all the customers down.

Siebel CRM On Demand User Group

Not sure if this specifically fits under this particular forum but...
Does anyone know if there is a specific Siebel CRM On Demand Users Group? I am aware of the Oracle Application Users Group etc, but I'm not sure if it caters for the On Demand model of Siebel, or just the Enterprise model.
If anyone knows which group(s) serve Siebel CRM On Demand users either globally, regionally or locally (especially in Australia), please post the details.
Regards,
Cameron

Hi Kathy,
I believe a users group would be beneficial in APAC (particularly in regional locations e.g. Australia, New Zealand etc).
I would see it serving multiple roles -:
1. To act as a forum for Siebel CRM On Demand users to share their collective knowledge and experience with the product.
2. To act as a collective voice for Siebel CRM On Demand users.
3. To act as a conduit for communication from Oracle to their customers, and in turn from the customer to Oracle.
4. To promote and facilitate educational offerings and training opportunities.
5. To promote and facilitate networking opportunities.
In a nut shell, it should serve to promote Knowledge, Advocacy, Communication, Education and Networking.
If I'm not mistaken, such groups exist and represent the user base of just about every product that Oracle sells except for Siebel CRM On Demand. I feel that it is important for the Siebel CRM On Demand user base to be able to benefit from a users group similarly representing them.
That being said, I can understand why you would have conflicting opinions on the usefulness of such a tool in APAC. As a region, Asia Pacific is particularly diverse and as such, a users group would have to be capable of representing the interests and needs of each unique demographic.
Regards,
Cameron.

Error while calling siebel crm on demand web service

Hi.
Has anyone encounter this problem before while trying to invoke the Siebel crm on demand web services? Please help.
Also, do I have to set up the SSL Trust Key and trust file to include the Siebel crm SSL cert?
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.generalException
faultString: com.ibm.wsspi.channel.framework.exception.ChannelException: com.ibm.wsspi.channel.framework.exception.ChannelException: Invalid trust file name of null

faultDetail:

Hi, yes I only use jax-ws to generate client artifacts for On Demand. I can imagine for first time user you have really big problems to generate the client code... The reason for this is in most cases the size of the wsdl files.
What you can do is.
1. Think about what you really need of the selected wsdl. eg. if it is account do you need all related objects like PlanAccount etc?
2. If you know what you need start to delete the not needed definitions from the wsdl and try the generation of client afterwards.

As we know that only Inbound integration is possible in Siebel CRM on Demand.Has anybody ever done outbound integration in Siebel CRM on demand using Integration event or using ASP?
Please repond soon.

Hi Max,
Thanks for your reply.
I have built a workflow.
Name : SH
Record Type : Contact
Trigger Event : When New record saved.
Then created action .
Name : Outbound Integration
type : Integration Event
I select 'Track Changes' for two fields named : First Name and Last Name as it will save changes in a file whenever any new record saved.
Then I went to Webservice Administration and downloaded zip file for Integration event wsdl.Also I downloaded wsdl file for contact.
There are few points where I am stuck.
1) In pdf,they talked about one xml file which will save all changes whenever any new contact record saved because it is created as Integration Event.
Which file is this?(Integration Event.wsdl???)
2) Should I use any of the above downloaded wsdl files to create webservice in siebel as I am doing integration b/w Siebel ondemand and Siebel CRM??
Can you give me a glimpse of the program to ping the queue ?Where do I need to write code in CRM on Demand?Which changes do I need to do in SIebel CRM?

In reference to your questions:
1) There are several 3rd party program such as Card Scan that will allow you scan in your business cards and put them in file format that can be imported into OnDemand.
2)Usine the OnDemand import wizard you have the ability to import accounts, contacts and opportunities from a CSV file.
3) OnDemand has some built in sales pipeline reports or you can create a custom report.

Integrating Environments of OBIEE with Siebel CRM fins
Did you set the NQHOST parameter in Siebel? Read also this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14847_01/bia.796/e14843/anyinstadmnappintegrate.htm#i1043309
The action link option is only available in an integrated environment. This also means you need to access Answers via Siebel.
There are also some license keys which must be activated in Siebel. You can get them here: http://licensecodes.oracle.com/siebel_crm_bi_integration.html

Integration from CRM on Demand

Hi All,
Is it possible to send integration request from siebel crm on demand.If so, How do we do it.
I want to integrate CRM on demand with peoplesoft system.Is there any way for the same.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Vamsi.

Hi,
This approach includes use of Web Services Exposed by Oracle.
(Navigate to Admin >>Web Services Administration >>Download Documentation button on your CRM Admin Account for a PDF Document on Web Services.
Firstly, write code to query CRM for Opportunity and Lead created in last 1 hour
Once the Code is written make sure you schedule it for execution say interval would be every 1 hour.
Dump all the Queried data to People soft System accordingly.
