Today, as a result of high competition among companies
engaged in marketing and service providing, Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) practices became mandatory for all
business organizations. CRM software systems are specially
customized programs for better customer relationship management;
they automate all company procedures like customer tacking,
contacting and serving customers. At their introduction, CRM
software programs are standard packages, with all wanted and
unwanted CRM applications.
Today, CRM software systems are customized according to the
needs of the companies. Now, with CRM solutions, you have many
options. Two popular options preferred by most companies are
Open source CRM and On-Demand or Hosted CRM. An open source CRM
is a standard program which can be customized to a company
friendly CRM software program. On-demand or Hosted CRM is a
web-linked customized CRM solution provided by a centralized CRM
provider. Many CRM vendors today offer open source hosted CRM,
which combines merits of both approaches.
Both open source and on-demand CRM software systems are capable
of integrating multiple tasks such as multi-channel
collaborative selling, customer lifecycle marketing, integrated
customer service, integrated fulfillment management, sales force
automation, data tracking, data migration, data integration,
etc. All customer relationship management systems serve as large
databases for storing and integrating all customer information
such as customer name, contact method, customer taste, frequency
of visit and buying capacity. Both CRM solutions help to find
reliable customers and plan better services for them.
Open-source CRM software systems are useful for all kinds of
companies, as these programs customized to any CRM need. Large
sized companies usually have special trained programmers who
customize standard applications into company-friendly
applications at appropriate times. For medium and small sized
companies, it may be difficult to employ trained programmers; so
they can prefer pre-customized CRM software systems. Many CRM
vendors today customize standard software programs according to
their client needs.
Hosted or on-demand CRM systems are mainly preferred by small
and medium sized companies. On demand CRM services are provided
by an application service provider (ASP) and are an example of
Software as a Service (SaaS). The on demand CRM provider will
integrate all business functions of the client on a monthly fee.
The client company can access all their data, such as documents,
collaboration application, customer information, etc, through
internet on demand.
The major advantage of open source CRM system is its
adaptability. These CRM systems eliminated the need of
installing large sized software programs with unwanted
applications in to company computers. Today, pre-customized CRM
systems are available for companies working in different fields
such as automotive, insurance service and medical service,
marketing, sales etc. The initial cost for purchasing the raw
software may be somewhat high.
Benefits of CRM on demand software systems include low capital
investment - there is no need for installing, configuring and
maintaining CRM systems, affordable monthly charges and flexible
plans, great mobility - you can access your data from anywhere
at any time, trouble free data integration - the systems are
maintained by experienced and skilled technicians, modularity,
and most important tension free service.
Discovering a suitable CRM software provider is not so
difficult. Searching on Internet is the best option. Before
going for any open source CRM solution, know your company needs
and frame work. When hiring a hosted CRM provider, things to be
noted are the data integration capacity of the provider and the
security they provide to your tracked and imputed information.
Deal only with a hosted CRM provider who uses special data
encryption techniques for securing of your data. For both
software systems, most CRM providers offer 30 day free trials;
make use of these offers to find one suitable for you.
