CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management, which is the methodologies, software, and Internet capabilities that help a company manage customer relationships in an efficient and organized manner.

For example, an enterprise might build a database about its customers that described relationships in sufficient detail so that management, salespeople, people providing service, and perhaps the customer directly could access information, match customer needs with product plans and offerings, remind customers of service requirements, know what other products a customer had purchased, and so forth.

This is a means to gain trust from customers by meeting the needs of each customer in a more personalized way in order to increase sales. Today, the communication media between customers and companies are diversified: not only telephones that has been used previously, but the Internet, kiosk terminals, and so on are used as well.

Effective CRM delivers the personalized, informed service on-demand that customers expect. An informed response comes from a system that provides a complete profile of the customer, including all past and ongoing interactions, regardless of the medium.
