AS YOUR BUSINESS EVOLVES
MANAGING TODAY’S BUSINESS CHALLENGES Solutions for customer relationship management (CRM) support business strategies that optimize a company’s customer-related activities for the greatest impact on business success. Today, it has become increasingly difficult for businesses to base their leadership on product innovation and operational efficiency alone. As a result, a growing number of companies look to CRM to deliver measurable benefits in terms of supporting the organization to drive revenue, attain operational excellence, and manage profitable growth.
Many companies have realized that the traditional approach of defining CRM purely as a set of front-office tools covering customer touch points and interaction channels – but that are isolated from the rest of the enterprise – falls short. Correspondingly, customer visibility cannot be restricted to data from only the front office, but must incorporate enterprise-wide information about customers’ buying habits and profitability. Moreover, fast and flexible deployment – focusing on strategic business priorities – is a critical success factor for any CRM implementation. A CRM solution must provide a platform for business agility, enabling a company to adapt its processes easily to constantly changing business
dynamics, orchestrate processes across and beyond the enterprise, and transform itself into a customer-centric enterprise. SAP has been executing on this vision of the customer-centric enterprise from the beginning: mySAP CRM is the only solution on the market today that can enable this approach. In addition to comprehensive industry-specific capabilities that support customerfacing departments in marketing, sales, and service, the solution offers powerful analytics and a 360° view across all customer touch points and interaction channels, such as field organizations, the Internet, interaction centers, and channel partners.
SETTING NEW STANDARDS FOR CRM More than 30 years ago, SAP marked the beginning of a new era with the introduction of integrated software that handled business processes in real time. Since then, SAP has become the world leader in business software, serving more than 26,000 customers worldwide, including organizations of every size
and type. And along the way, SAP has accumulated a unique knowledge base of best practices in more than 25 industries – including yours. And now, SAP’s tradition of leadership continues with a new generation of CRM software that gives companies the flexibility to adapt business processes to new market conditions while simultaneously maximizing productivity: mySAP CRM.
This standard-setting solution builds on SAP’s experience and integrates business processes in heterogeneous systems landscapes like never before. It delivers the powerful functionality, global orientation, and flexible enhancement options you need to remain efficient, productive, competitive, and positioned for growth.
