Emphasis on Creating Strong Customer Relationships Drives the Customer Relationship Management Software Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- Follow us on LinkedIn - Customer relationship management (CRM) is emerging as one of the most effective approaches for creating and maintaining strong customer relations that can help companies expand their business. CRM takes the art of customer relations to a new high by not only helping companies build profitable long lasting relationships with new customers but also target right products and services to existing customers. Major factors driving the market for CRM software include the development of integrated CRM solutions, CRM analytics and social CRM. Emergence of low-cost cloud-based SaaS CRM is helping increase adoption among SMBs.
Social CRM and CRM analytics are expected to witness robust growth in the coming years. The emergence of social media platforms such as online user forums, web communities, public social community platforms such as Oracle Web Center, Jive and Lithium, and social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, has opened a world of possibilities for handling customer relationships. Besides providing a medium for exchanging text messages and media files, social media is becoming an extremely potent tool for consumers to voice their opinion about companies and their products. Businesses are therefore now focusing on keeping up with trends in social media and are investing in solutions that help them efficiently monitor consumer interactions on such sites. Against this backdrop, Social CRM defined as integration of social media with customer relationship management (CRM) strategies, is growing in popularity as companies attempt to bridge social media analytics with conventional CRM systems.
Another major factor driving growth is the emergence of cloud based SaaS CRM solutions, which are defined as CRM solutions offered as a service over the Internet. On-demand cloud based CRM software solutions are poised to grow in popularity as enterprises increasingly opt for hybrid solutions and focus on supplementing in-house deployments with on-demand cloud solutions. Key benefits of SaaS CRM driving its adoption include low costs, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as compared to on-premise CRM, faster and easier implementation, reduced upfront capital expenditure, and increased business agility. Increasing adoption of mobile CRM is also benefiting market growth. Enterprise mobility is gaining ground the world over and organizations are now continuously prioritizing access of CRM data on mobile devices to enable sales and customer service teams to perform effectively and efficiently.
