recently revealed that CRM has emerged as the number one priority for application software spending in 2013 and 2014. Besides CRM, ERP and office productivity tools rounded out the top three. The fact that CRM has vaulted past ERP and is projected to drive IT enterprise investments in upcoming years makes sense for many reasons:
- Firms are struggling to make sense of the sheer magnitude of customer data that they have accumulated over the years.
- Firms are burdened by their inability to segment their most profitable clients or by a lack of searchable client insights and buyer/investor preferences.
- Firms are frustrated with their current siloed approach to serving customers, analyzing wallet share, and uncovering cross-sell opportunities.
- Firms are alarmed at how long it takes to produce client and sales reports.
- Firms are fearful that their stale client and sales pipeline data may flaw their decision making.
- Firms feel at risk of losing business to their competitors who better understand their customers.
- Firms feel overwhelmed with the plethora of prospect data available in the marketplace today.
