In today's business environment one
turns to Client Relationship Management (CRM) systems as a means to
better know the customer and to meet their increasing complex
requirements. The CRM should provide not only a complete picture
of the customer (and prospective cutomers), but also help improve and
grow those relationships; automating and symplifying processes.
The CRM strategy to follow will, of course, be derived from the
overall policy of the individual company. Given this, the first thing to
do is to assess the current state of Customer Relations, to decide on
the goals one wants to achieve from implementing a
CRM, the priorities, the expected benefits and estimated costs,
an implementation plan, a definition of roles, controls on who has
access to client information and the overall architecture of the
information system.
When
choosing a CRM application the most important considerations are usually
:
The maturity of the software company
The ease and speed in which the application can be installed
The availability of resources and skills for the product
The costs of buying and running the product
The flexibility and degree of configuration
The development of a bespoke CRM
application is no longer an option.
