>>About CRM

Regardless of size, every company engages in customer relationship management (CRM). When a company builds a customer list, tracks interactions with customers, designates activities to close business, or handles a customer problem, they are undertaking CRM-related activities. 

Customer Relationship Management systems standardise, automate and share these activities across the organisation to improve these existing processes. CRM applications address four major functional areas. A CRM application integrates this information so companies have a complete view across these various activities.

• Marketing – Manage customer lists, identify prospects, create marketing campaigns, track success rates, capture leads for sales follow-up.
• Sales – Identify leads, manage sales opportunities and accounts, present product and quote information, forecast quota attainment.
• Customer Support – Handle customer cases, manage customer incidents, escalate customer issues.
• Collaboration – Manage activities and projects, share customer and product information, access third-party content.
