ECRM is the customer focussed management of the
whole eBusiness relationship with each customer, in
order to measure, create and increase income and
reduce costs for each customer & segment and thus to
generate greater positive lifetime value.

Put simply, eCRM means CRM-
database access via the Web. It
means Intranet access for
internal users, extranet access
for business partners and
customers and of
course, Internet access for the
market at large.
e-CRM expands the traditional CRM
techniques by integrating new electronic
channels, such as Web, wireless, and voice
technologies and combines it with e-business
applications into the overall enterprise CRM
strategy.

   Traditional CRM + Internet = e-CRM
   Due to the introduction of new technology
   Due to globalization
   Changing customer attitudes and
    expectations
   To gain competitive advantage
   To measure, create and increase income for
    the business
   To reduce costs

 Customer analytic software predicts, measures, and interprets
  customer behaviors, allowing companies to understand the
  effectiveness of e-CRM efforts.
 Data mining software builds predictive models to identify
  customers most likely to perform a particular behavior.
 Campaign management software leverages the data warehouse
  to plan and execute multiple, highly targeted campaigns
  overtime, using triggers that respond timed events and
  customer behaviour.
 Business simulation used in conjunction with campaign
  management software optimises offer; messaging and channel
  delivery prior to the execution of campaigns, and compares
  planned costs and ROI projections with actual results.

  communications using business intelligence.
Customer Centric Information Store


Analysis & Segmentation Engine


Personalization Engine


Broadcast Engine


Transaction Engine
The customer-centric information store

 Consolidates information about millions of customers together
 with preferences, permissions, and information that may be
 useful to them.

      The analysis and segmentation engine

      Helps in leveraging this customer information to build a
      business campaign strategy and evaluate its success.

The personalisation engine

Helps in personalising the entire customer
experience, configuring unique sets of messages and offers to
each customer.
The broadcast engine

 Helps to proactively deliver information and offers to every
 customer via the media of his or her choice.

      The transaction engine

      Helps to facilitate the interactions between customer and the
      company, either exchanging information or driving
      transactions.


 Equipped with such infrastructure, companies can continually
create significant customer value at Internet speed, automating the
―who, what, when, where, and how of sales and marketing‖.
An organization should plan for e-CRM if it aims on any
of the following goals –
 Better levels of customer service
 More effective customer lifecycle management
 A single ‗360 degree‘ customer view
 Higher sales (better conversion rates etc.)
 User-generated content
 Site ‗stickiness‘
 Increased customer switching costs
 Decreased costs (through customer self service etc.)
 Reduce customer acquisition costs
 Improve customer retention

I. Terms of Reference
Everyone needs to be clear on what they understand by
e-CRM for the project and why they consider e-CRM is
going to be of benefit.

II. Commercial Scope
What is the realistic scope and likely ROI for the initiative?

III. Customer Insight
The better you know your customers, or get to know
them, the better you will be able to serve them.
      Who are your current and future customers?
      How much do you currently know about them?
      What are your points of contact with them?
      How do they perceive you etc.?
IV. Data Capture & Analysis
     What data you will need to support your digital
       strategy?
     How you are going to capture that data?
     How you will store, manage and use that data?

V. Business Case & Implementation Path
     How do you best roll out and phase the
       implementation of your e-CRM initiative?
      How do you ensure you build a platform for future
       growth and yet not spend too long and too much
       money trying to do everything at once?
      What is your optimal cost / ROI development path
       in light of your digital strategy?
VI. Do & Review
 A Forrester Research study of 70 retailers found that convenience
was the number one ranked reason (84%) for purchasing on-line
versus off-line.

 A study by the Boston Consulting Group found that 65% of on-line
customers who purchase at a given web site will never make a
second purchase.

 A recent McKinsey & Co. study revealed that a 10% gain in repeat
customers can add about 10% to the company‘s profits.

 Typically costs 5 times as much to acquire a new customer as it
does to retain an existing one.

The best way to keep existing customers happy is to deliver value to
them on their own terms.
