CRM Study 2008 - Customer Relationship Management

SoftTrend Study - CRM 2008: Progression in the CRM market

Subjects such as customer orientation improvement, construction of an active relationship-management or the use of sales, distribution and service to their full potential have been on every companies agenda for many years. Product quality and Customer orientation, particularly in high-wage countries, have advanced to critical competitive factors. However there is more often than not a long, hard journey between awareness and implementation. In the past, we had insufficient conviction or scepis regarding CRM tools on the one side and the reluctance to invest on the other stood in the way of a thorough examination on the subject of CRM. Especially middle-sized businesses should try and do away with this reluctance, especially as the interest with IT projects is based on optimising the process landscape and improving the cost structure with cross-area workflow.
