CRM: What Is It and Why Do It? - Part One: Historical Background
11/8/2004 12:00:00 AM
Many consultants, vendors, and analysts today define CRM in terms of being a customer-centric business strategy that is enabled by a set of applications that support customer-facing functions and management decision making.

Selecting an Outsourcing Provider--Art or Science?
11/2/2004 12:00:00 AM
Many companies base their outsourcing provider selection on only one aspect of the outsourcing relationship. Some decide on a perception of cultural fit and on the rapport and relationship developed during the sales cycle between the company's senior management and the outsource provider's sales representative and executive team.
