Solutions

In a broad sense or the term, CRM is a holistic process, governed by information technologies, which focus on creating two-way communication with customers so that organizations have an intimate knowledge of their needs, wants, and buying patterns.

In this way, CRM helps companies understand, as well as anticipate, the needs of current and potential customers. Critical business processes are transparent to the decision makers in the organization. For example, a CRM system can tell you, the current financial status of your finances, anticipate re-ordering of goods, or how well a marketing campaign has done.

CRM should bring all key business processes that support the business which include sales, marketing, customer service, training, professional development, performance management, human resource development, and compensation. Many CRM project fail because they implemented without being customer focused.
