Getting the Most from CRM Software
December 17, 2007
 
By Stefania Viscusi, Assignment Desk Editor
While CRM software is important for its ability to provide customer data that helps increase efficiency and profit, there are also other benefits provided by CRM software that are not always recognized.
 
To highlight ways in which a CRM software solutions can be implemented in way for businesses to gain from its full potential, Clare Kaufman, VendorGuru.com columnist, points out 5 no fail ways in her article, " CRM Systems Facilitate Data Sharing and Customer Relations"

 
First, Kaufman notes companies must take the time to realize the importance of solid customer relationships. In this customer-focus corporate culture, it is possible to get the most of a CRM software solution because employees are willing to work together and collaborate on improving customer relationships.
 
Since customer data is central to CRM, another important aspect is the need to evaluate business priorities so that data can be used and shared most effectively and used to optimize daily processes.
 
Next, Kaufman notes the need to 'Find a System that Fits.' CRM software options include a number of features, it is important that businesses look for one that offers the features they need and that will integrate with their existing technology platforms.
 
Also important amongst all these needs is user buy-in. CRM software will be utilized most if users are involved in the selection and implementation process and are given training on it.
 
And finally, to achieve a successful CRM software implementation, Kaufman notes the importance of a phased approach, which allows for fine tuning along the way. This gives users the ability to slowly become familiar with the new solution, and find benefit in it.
