The wide readership for this guide encompasses those on the business side, including sales, marketing, and service and support personnel, as well as those on the technology side, such as technologists, operational managers, project managers, technical managers, and other IS and IT personnel involved in an SAP CRM implementation project. Company executives and decision-makers will find material on return on investment (ROI) in CRM implementation. Recommending that customer relationship marketing (CRM) implementation be undertaken as an enterprise-wide effort, the book explains how to configure the company’s internal operations and business processes via SAP CRM. Section 1 describes the CRM system, the SAP CRM implementation project cycle, and business process re-engineering. Section 2 describes the main components of SAP CRM. Sections 3, 4, and 5 cover the pre-implementation, implementation, and post-implementation stages. Section 6 deals with valuing the relationship-based enterprise and features of the intelligent customer-centric enterprise. Appendices list SAP CRM implementation partners and CRM industry analysts. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) In todays competitive business environment, most companies realize that the better they can manage their customer relationships, the more successful they will become. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software systems are key tools for companies to manage the customer-facing processes of their businesses. However, many companies have resisted implementing this most critical customer-oriented application due in large part to the lack of a single-point resource on implementing a CRM system. This book attempts to fill that gap.Implementing SAP® CRM will help technologists and managers come to grips with the vision, concept, and technology of CRM. It begins by laying out the groundwork for understanding CRM. It explains the concept and context of CRM and the tangible business benefits of CRM adoption. Demonstrating a professional approach to the evaluation and selection of SAP, it details the critical success factors (CSFs), patterns, and anti-patterns of a successful SAP CRM implementation.CRM implementations can add significant benefit to the company’s bottom line only if the company first transforms itself into a customer-centric and customer-responsive enterprise. This book explains what it means to be a customer-centric and responsive enterprise, and provides a framework for business operations based on customer relationships, rather than the traditional four Ps (product, positioning, price, promotion). It further spells out business process reengineering (BPR) strategies to configure internal business processes and operations with SAP CRM to improve customer-facing strategies, services, and relationships.
