Abstract
Both customer relationship management (CRM) and electronic customer relationship management (eCRM) systems have unique characteristics that support customer-business interactions and are linked to internal business processes and systems across different areas for operational and analytical purposes. Such characteristics may imply that different critical success factors are required for both to be successfully implemented. This exploratory study identifies the factors and the interrelationships

    It represents a company’s approach to developing full-knowledge about customer behavior and preferences and to developing programs and strategies that encourage customers to continually enhance their business relationship with the company. According to Forbes (2013), Recent studies show that companies with a fully utilized CRM system can increase sales by 29%. Today, more and more companies are adopting customer-centric strategies, programs, tools, and technology for efficient and effective customer relationship management. In-depth analyzes and integrated customer knowledge is needed in order to build close cooperative relationships with their customers and develop a greater degree of integration between marketing, sales, and customer service in organizations. In today’s society, the emergence of technologies is significantly changing how companies interact and communicate with their customers (Rouse, 2014). Customer relationship software consolidates customer information and classifies into a single database so business users can more easily access and manage it. Under the system, each customer will have a profile created with their information, such as purchase history, spending ability and buying preferences. The program also includes contacting the customer through the company's website, telephone, email, direct mail, marketing materials and social…

    Moore Medical is a medium-sized distributor of medical supplies to practitioners such as podiatrists and emergency medical technicians. Up to the time of the case, it has relied on traditional customer channels such as catalogs, phones, and faxes to communicate product offerings, promotions, and availability, and to take orders. It is now attempting to transition into a "bricks and clicks" distributor with a strong Internet presence. It has already made substantial investments in an eCommerce web site and in "back office" ERP software to improve the fulfillment performance of its four distribution centers. The ERP software has not lived up to expectations in all areas, and the company must decide whether to invest in more modules for this system that might address its shortcomings. It must also decide whether to make a significant additional investment in customer relationship management software. At the time of the case, Moore must decide whether it has "enough" of the "right kind" of IT. The decision is complicated by the fact that the company has recently made substantial IT investments that have impacted financial performance and caused organizational disruption. In addition, it is not clear that all of Moore 's known issues related to customer retention and satisfaction will be addressed by the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) under consideration…

    a leader in the CRM arena, recently decided to turn up the heat on its implementation of best practices in Customer Relationship Management. The institution chose to take a scientific approach to evaluating how well its strategies deliver by employing QCi’s Customer Management Assessment Tool (CMAT) licensed by IBM. With this tool, the bank was able to factually measure its current practices and compare the overall score against other corporations. Why CMAT and IBM? “We’ve known for a long time that we had good CRM systems in place, but we did not have any way to benchmark externally against other companies. By using CMAT, we brought many aspects of our systems, practices and resources together for careful evaluation,” explains Andy Ripley, senior manager, marketing development. Of the firms that have been involved with the CMAT study, HSBC ranked in the top ten percent. “Now, we want to work toward an even better score by developing more skills and even better capabilities to serve our customers,” notes Andy. The Customer Management Assessment Tool was applied to the retail and commercial banking areas of the bank…

    Introduction The essence of the information technology revolution and, in particular, the World Wide Web is the opportunity to build better relationships with customers than has been previously possible in the offline world. By combining the abilities to respond directly to customer requests and to provide the customer with a highly interactive, customized experience, companies have a greater ability today to establish, nurture, and sustain long-term customer relationships than ever before. The ultimate goal is to transform these relationships into greater profitability by increasing repeat purchase rates and reducing customer acquisition costs. Indeed, this revolution in customer relationship management or CRM1 as it is called, has been referred to as the new “mantra” of marketing.2 Companies like Siebel, E.piphany, Oracle, Broadvision, Net Perceptions, Kana and others have filled this CRM space with products that do everything from track customer behavior on the Web to predicting their future moves to sending direct e-mail communications. This has created a worldwide market for CRM products and services of $34 billion in 1999 and which is forecasted by IDC to grow to $125 billion by 2004.3 The need to better understand customer behavior and focus on those customers who can deliver long-term profits has changed how marketers view the world. Traditionally, marketers have been trained to acquire customers, either new ones who have not bought the product category before or those who are currently competitors’ customers. This has required heavy doses of mass advertising and price-oriented promotions to customers and channel members. Today, the tone of the conversation has changed from customer acquisition to retention. This requires a different mindset and a…
