CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a systematic business approach using information and on-going dialogue to build long lasting and mutually beneficial customer relationships. CRM integrates data, technology, analyses and marketing and communications processes across all customer touch-points. CRM can be an effective business strategy tool when used appropriately, especially now in our customer center business. To the end, a holistic view of the implementation of CRM should be made in order to discuss the pro and con about this strategy.
