Customer Relationship Management

How to create an effective Customer Relationship Management (CRM) programme.

More than ever before customers can touch an organisation via a number of different channels – the internet, their mobile phone, email, interactive TV and so on. That puts pressure on the business to synchronise and capture customer information in one place – the CRM database.

An efficient CRM system means better sales and marketing, better order processing, and better production and accounting. But CRM is much more than an IT system: it needs buy-in and consistent commitment from all teams in touch with customers. And it needs first-class project management. What really matters is whether the system is creating and maintaining relationships with customers to best effect.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a collection of research papers focusing on different aspects of the CRM challenge.
