- Duplication of records – can be a source of misunderstanding and wasted time. An effective solution is to regularly maintain resources and delete duplicates.
- Incomplete synchronization – occurs when data in one system is updated faster than in the other. Regular manual updates and synchronization checks are the solution.
- Poor synchronization – if the information in the calendar and CRM system do not match, access permissions must be set correctly.
