CRM is the organization structure design for two-sided relation to customer. CRM is divided by 3 major section including operational, analytical and relational. CRM can be considered in two trade & work and cost views.
CRM data structure is important for a number of reasons. There’s more accountability for workers when the systems in place are saturated with data and work properly. If something goes wrong, they’ll know where to look and how to fix it so it never happens again.
