Data Management Overview

Customer information management and data management has always been central to a company's basic value proposition. Prior to the advent of CRM solutions like ACT! Software and GoldMine, data was scattered throughout the departments of a business. For instance, customer support might have issues and calls logged in one program while the sales department has their contact management run through a different incompatible program, yet they both need to share their respective pieces of the data management puzzle. Clearly, this is an area that requires careful and diligent examination. It can be an expensive process, but the costs of ineffective customer relationship management are much greater.

The customer might not 'always be right,' but the customer is always at the center of the business' focus.

Customer relationship management (CRM) systems are only as effective as the data management and information management systems we have and use in them. What deserves careful and diligent examination is our customer and the processes we devise to meet their needs!
