CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

ABSTRACT Customer relationship management (CRM) is a widely implemented model for managing a companys interactions with customers, clients, and sales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processesprincipally sales activities, but also those for marketing, customer service, and technical support. The overall goals are to find, attract, and win new clients; nurture and retain those the company already has; entice former clients back into the fold; and reduce the costs of marketing and client service. Customer relationship management describes a company-wide business strategy including customer-interface departments as well as other departments. The primary objective of this project is to conduct a study on customer relationship management at Jemi Cluster for the health care industry. The study can be carried through by getting the feedback from the customers and compare those results with the expected results.

CHAPTER - I INTRODUCTION
The biggest management challenge in the new millennium of liberalization and globalization for a business is to serve and maintain good relationship with the king the customer. In the past producers took their customers for granted, because at that time the customers were not demanding nor had alternative source of supply or suppliers. But today there is a radical transformation. The changing business environment is characterized by economic liberalization, increasing competition, high consumer choice, demanding customer, more emphasis on quality and value of purchase etc.

All these changes have made todays producer shift from traditional marketing to modern marketing. Modern marketing calls for more than developing a product, pricing it, promoting it and making it accessible to target customer. It demands building trust, a binding force and value added relationship with the customers. The process of developing a cooperative and collaborative relationship between the buyer and seller is called customer relationship management shortly called CRM. The idea of CRM is to know the individual customer intimately, so that the company has a customized product ready for him even before he asks for it.

Customer relationship management is a combination of people, processes and technology that seeks to understand a company's customers. It is an integrated approach to managing relationships by focusing on customer retention and relationship development. CRM has evolved from advances in information technology and organizational changes in customer-centric processes. Companies that successfully implement CRM will reap the rewards in customer loyalty and long run profitability. However, successful implementation is elusive to many companies, mostly because they do not understand that CRM requires company-wide, cross-functional, customer-focused business process re-engineering. Although

a large portion of CRM is technology, viewing CRM as a technology-only solution is likely to fail. Managing a successful CRM implementation requires an integrated and balanced approach to technology, process, and people. WHY CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT FOR TODAY? A satisfied customer in 10 years will bring 100 more customers to the company. It costs 7 times more to attract a new customer than to serve an old one. 20% of the companys loyal customers account for 80% of its revenues. (Paretos principle). The chances of selling to an existing customer are 1 in 2, the chances of selling to a new customer are 1 in 16. BENEFITS OF CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT 1. A CRM system consists of a historical view and analysis of all the acquired or to be acquired customers. This helps in reduced searching and correlating customers and to foresee customer needs effectively and increase business. 2. CRM contains each and every bit of details of a customer, hence it is very easy for track a customer accordingly and can be used to determine which customer can be profitable and which not. 3. In CRM system, customers are grouped according to different aspects according to the type of business they do or according to physical location and are allocated to different customer managers often called as account managers. This helps in focusing and concentrating on each and every customer separately. 4. A CRM system is not only used to deal with the existing customers but is also useful in acquiring new customers. The process first starts with identifying a customer and maintaining all the corresponding details into the CRM system which is also called an Opportunity of Business. The Sales and Field representatives then try getting business out of these customers by sophistically following up with them and converting them into a winning deal. All this is very easily and efficiently done by an integrated CRM system.

5. The strongest aspect of Customer Relationship Management is that it is very costeffective. The advantage of decently implemented CRM system is that there is very less need of paper and manual work which requires lesser staff to manage and lesser resources to deal with. The technologies used in implementing a CRM system are also very cheap and smooth as compared to the traditional way of business. 6. All the details in CRM system is kept centralized which is available anytime on fingertips. This reduces the process time and increases productivity. 7. Efficiently dealing with all the customers and providing them what they actually need increases the customer satisfaction. This increases the chance of getting more business which ultimately enhances turnover and profit. 8. If the customer is satisfied they will always be loyal to you and will remain in business forever resulting in increasing customer base and ultimately enhancing net growth of business. HOW TO INTRODUCE CRM IN THE COMPANY? There are four key steps for putting one to one marketing program to work: Step 1: Identify your customers To launch a one to one initiative the company must be able to locate and contact a fair number of customers or at least a substantial portion of its valuable customers. It is crucial to know the customer details as much as possible, not just their names or address, but their habits, preferences and so forth. Step 2: Differentiating your customers Customers are different in two principal ways; they represent different levels of value and have different needs. Once the company identifies its customers differentiating them will help the company to focus its efforts to gain the most advantage with the most valuable customers. Step 3: Interacting with the customer Interaction is also a crucial component of a successful CRM initiative. It is important to remember that interaction just not occur through marketing and sales channels, customer

interact in many different ways with many different areas of the organization so to foster relationship all the areas of the organization must be accessible to the customer. Step 4: Customize your enterprises behaviour Ultimately to lock a customer into a relationship a company must adapt some aspect of its behavior to meet customers individually expressed needs this might mean mass customizing a manufactured product or it might involve tailoring some aspect of the service surrounding the product.

1.2 NEED FOR THE STUDY

1. To understand the customer expectations. 2. To improve the overall customer satisfaction. 3. To improve the business relationship. 4. To understand the customer intention towards availing Jemi Cluster services in future

1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The service industry forms a backbone of social and economic development of a region. It has emerged as the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the world economy, making higher contributions to the global output and employment. Its growth rate has been higher than that of agriculture and manufacturing sectors. It is a large and most dynamic part of the Indian economy both in terms of employment potential and contribution to national income. It covers a wide range of activities, such as trading, transportation and communication, financial, real estate and business services, as well as community, social and personal services. The service sector is receiving much deserved attention resulting from its inevitable role in a countrys economic development. It is mainly focusing on developing inbound relationship with customer, which helps in terms of retaining the customer because service is an intangible good which include attention advice, experience and discussion. With increased globalization, competition, higher customer turnover, growing customer acquisition cost and rising customer expectations in todays competitive world, CRM has become an important tool for several service providers in order to retain their customers for long period. Researchers found that developing a CRM strategy with the help of IT, one-toone marketing, and producing customized products would be a life saver for services industry. This study opens up the relationship between the customers and the management. From the study organization can develop better CRM policies with their customers.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURE 2.1 Reports of previous studies done in the same area: Ernst Holger, Hoyer, Wayne D.Krafft, ManfredKrieger, Katrin (2011)1.In this article authors says that Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is widely accepted as an effective approach for collecting, analyzing, and translating valuable customer information into managerial action. CRM's potential to aid in future new product development (NPD) has been neglected. Authors developed a conceptual framework in which multiple facets of CRM are linked to new product and company performance.Authors provide evidence that CRM has a positive effect on new product performance. Battor &Moustafa (2010)2.In this article authors examine the direct impact of both CRM and innovation on firm performance. They support the fact that there is a direct impact of CRM and innovation on performance. Also, the findings indicate that the indirect effect of CRM on firm performance through innovation is significant. These results reinforce the view that developing close relationships with customers enhances a firm's ability to innovate. Jeff Solomon (2010)3.In this article the author says that it is necessary to understand the unique differences between B2B and B2C CRM. All CRM systems are not created equal.

However, it's crucial to understand the differences between B2B and B2C CRM in light of each company's individual requirements. He also says that CRM solutions have a long history of helping B2B marketers achieve greater ROI from their leads. He also says that marketers should form CRM strategy that is suitable for a B2B form of busine Steve Greechie(2009)4. This article is about how CRM is essential for services marketing and how it helps service industries to retain their customers. Author tries to say that, the services offer unique CRM opportunities to get to know and retain the customer. He identified three universal facts about nature of service like inseparability, intangibility and non standardization. He explains how CRM helps to meet customer expectations and creates wordof-mouth. He also says that an effective CRM leads to customization of products and predicting Customer behavior. Helgesen(2006)5. In this article the authors says that Customer loyalty is supposed to be

positively related to profitability. The link between satisfaction, loyalty and profitability is perceived to be so self-evident that the relationship often is taken for granted. Here the focus is on the individual customer with respect to the links between customer satisfaction, customer (action) loyalty and customer profitability. They provided a fact that

more loyal a customertends to be, the higher customer profitability is obtained. Adrian Payne & Pennie Frow (2005)6.In this article, the authors develop a conceptual framework for customer relationship management (CRM) that helps broaden the understanding of CRM and its role in enhancing customer. The authors emphasize the need for a cross-functional, process-oriented approach that positions CRM at a strategic level. They identify five key cross-functional CRM processes: a strategy development process, a value

creation process, a multichannel integration process, an information management process, and a performance assessment process. Werner Reinartz, Manfred krafft and wayne D. Hoyer (2004)7.An understanding of how to manage relationships with customers effectively has become an important topic for both academicians and practitioners in recent years. However, the existing academic literature and the practical applications of customer relationship management (CRM) strategies do not provide a clear indication of what specifically constitutes CRM processes. In this study, the authors (1) conceptualize a construct of the CRM process and its dimensions, (2) Operationalize and validate the construct, and (3) empirically investigate the organizational performance consequences of implementing CRM processes. The first key outcome is a theoretically sound CRM process measure that outlines three key stages: initiation, maintenance, and termination. The second key result is that the implementation of CRM processes has a moderately positive association with both perceptual and objective company performance.

2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE:

Introduction:
The software industry includes businesses involved in the development, maintenance and publication of computer software using any business model. The industry also includes software services, such as training, documentation, and consulting and outsourcing those business models.

History:
The word "software" had been coined as a prank by at least 1953, but did not appear in print until the 1960s. Before this time, computers were programmed either by customers, or the few commercial computer vendors of the time, such as UNIVAC and IBM. The first company founded to provide software products and services was Computer Usage Company in 1955. The software industry expanded in the early 1960s, almost immediately after computers were first sold in mass-produced quantities. Universities, government, and business customers created a demand for software. Many of these programs were written in-house by full-time staff programmers. Some were distributed freely between users of a particular machine for no charge. Others were done on a commercial basis, and other firms such as Computer Sciences Corporation (founded in 1959) started to grow. The computer-makers

started bundling operating systems software and programming environments with their machines. The industry expanded greatly with the rise of the personal computer in the mid-1970s, which brought computing to the desktop of the office worker. In subsequent years, it also created a growing market for games, applications, and utilities. DOS,Microsoft's first operating system product, was the dominant operating system at the time.In the early years of the 21st century, another successful business model has arisen for hosted software, called software as a service, or SaaS,this was at least the third time this model had been attempted. SaaS reduces the concerns about software piracy, since it can only be accessed through the Web, and by definition no client software is loaded onto the end user's PC.

Software sectors: The Global Scenario

There are several types of businesses in the software industry. Infrastructure software, including operating systems, middleware and databases, is made by companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Sybase, EMC, Oracle and VMWare. Enterprise software, the software that automates business processes in finance, production, logistics, sales and marketing, is made by Oracle, SAP AG , Sage and Infor. Security software is made by the likes of Symantec, Trend Micro and Kaspersky. Several industry-specific software makers are also among the largest software companies in the world: SunGard, making software for banks, Black Board making software for schools, and companies like Qualcomm or Cyber Vision making software for telecom companies. Other companies do contract programming to develop unique software for one particular client company i.e outsourcing, or focus on configuring and customizing suites from large vendors such as SAP or Oracle.

Leading companies: Mindshare and Marketshare

In terms of technology leadership, the software industry has long been led by IBM. However, Microsoft became the dominant PC operating system supplier. Other companies that have substantial mindshare (not: marketshare) in the software industry are SUN Microsystems, the developer of the Java platform (purchased by Oracle in 2010), Red Hat, for its open source

momentum, and Google for its Google Docs. However in terms of revenues coming from software sales, the software industry is clearly dominated by Microsoft, since inception. Microsoft products are still sold in largest number across the globe.

Size of the industry:

According to market researcher DataMonitor, the size of the worldwide software industry in 2008 was US$ 303.8 billion, an increase of 6.5% compared to 2007. Americas account for 42.6% of the global software market's value. DataMonitor forecasts that in 2013, the global software market will have a value of US$ 457 billion, an increase of 50.5% since 2008.

Software Magazine's Top 10 ranking of 2011:

1. International Business Machine 2. Oracle Corporation 3. Accenture 4. Google 5. Yahoo 6. HP 7. Symantec 8. Capgemini 9. Computer Sciences Corporation

INDIA IT INDUSTRY:
The Indian information technology (IT) industry has played a major role in placing India on the international map. The industry is mainly governed by IT software and facilities for instance System Integration, Software experiments, Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), network services and IT Solutions. According to Nasscom's findings Indian IT-BPO industry expanded by 12% during the Fiscal year 2009 and attained aggregate returns of US$ 71.6 billion. Out of the derived revenue US$ 59.6 billion was solely earned by the software and services division.

Moreover, the industry witnessed an increase of around US$ 7 million in FY 2008-09 i.e. US$ 47.3 billion against US$ 40.9 billion accrued in FY 2008-09.

IT Outsourcing in India:
As per NASSCOM, IT exports in business process outsourcing (BPO) services attained revenues of US$ 48 billion in FY 2008-09 and accounted for more than 77% of the entire software and services income. Over the years India has been the most favorable outsourcing hub for firm on a lookout to offshore their IT operations. The factors behind India being a preferred destination are its reasonably priced labor, favorable business ambiance and availability of expert workforce. Considering its escalating growth, IBM has plans to increase its business process outsourcing (BPO) functions in India besides employing 5,000 workforces to assist its growth. In the next few years, the industry is all set to witness some multi-million dollar agreements namely: A 5 year agreement between HCL Technologies and News Corp for administering its information centers and IT services in UK. As per the industry analysts, the pact is estimated to be in the range of US$ 200-US$ 250 million US$ 50 million agreement between HCL Technologies and Meggitt, UK-based security apparatus manufacturer, for offering engineering facilities. Global giant Walmart has short listed their Indian IT dealers namely Cognizant Technology Solutions, UST Global and Infosys Technologies for a contract worth US$ 600 million

India's domestic IT Market:

India's domestic IT Market over the years has become one of the major driving forces of the industry. The domestic IT infrastructure is developing contexts of technology and intensity of penetration. In the FY 2008-09, the domestic IT sector attained revenues worth US$ 24.3 billion as compared to US$ 23.1 billion in FY 2007-08, registering a growth of 5.4%. Moreover, the increasing demand for IT services and goods by India Inc has strengthened the expansion of the domestic market with agreements worth rising up extraordinarily to US$ 100 million. By the FY 2012, the domestic sector is estimated to expand to US$ 1.7 billion against the existing from US$ 1 billion.

Government initiative in India's domestic IT Market:

The Indian government has established a National Taskforce on IT with an aim of formatting a durable National IT Policy for India Endorsement of the IT Act, which offers an authorized structure to assist electronic trade and electronic operations.

Major investments in India's domestic IT Market

According to Andhra Pradesh Government the state's SEZs and Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) will witness an investment of US$ 3.27 billion in the next few years. VMware Inc, San Francisco-based IT firm is looking forward to invest US$ 100 million by 2010 in India. EMC Corporation's total Indian assets is expected to reach US$ 2 billion by 2014

Indian Software Industry:

The Indian Information Technology industry accounts for a 5.19% of the country's GDP and export earnings as of 2010, while providing employment to a significant number of its tertiary sector workforce. More than 2.3 million people are employed in the sector either directly or indirectly, making it one of the biggest job creators in India and a mainstay of the national economy. In 2011, annual revenues from outsourcing operations in India amounted to US$54.33 billion compared to China with $35.76 billion and Philippines with $8.85 billion. India's outsourcing industry is expected to increase to US$225 billion by 2020.

Recent trends in software Industry:

The computer software industry, unlike the more traditional manufacturing and services industries, is coping with the current gloomy economic climate as best it can by concentrating on transforming interesting ideasinto novel technology, must-have applications, and competitive maneuvering rivals. Profits may be down at the moment but expectations, whether for companies like Microsoft, Apple, and IBM or Intel, Symantec and Oracle, remain quite high.Remond, WA-based software giant Microsoft is currently battling the European Commission over inclusion of its Internet Explorer web browser in operating system software. Additional issues facing the computer software industry are piracy, a crime which may lessen once software applications are more often found and used on the Internet and are not available on individual computers; portability, the transferability of software among operating systems

Future of software industry:

Hardware, software, and people are the three basic ingredients of enterprise business technology. They provide the enterprise with an economic advantage through automated and improved business processes, increased employee productivity, and more accurate and precise information. The relationship between these three components has evolved over time. In the business technology era, we predict that managing the third part of the equation people will emerge as the dominant focus. As software applications become business services, the cost of human resources producing, operating, and managing software will soon be prohibitive and the new focal point.

SUGGESTIONS

The company can change its communication method i.e. they can communicate to the customers on daily basis to avoid the gap on product development. The company can increase its skill of members in order to deliver its services effectively. The company needs to educate the customers on their services related to Placement and Executive Search and its relevance to the customers. The company needs to scan the environment using ETOP and offer additional sub categories of services in each service assignment matching to the competitors offerings. The company can collect feedback from its customers regularly, which may help them to improve in the setback areas on SDLC approach where there is a need for change. Based on their existing customers unique needs, company can expand their range of products such as Web Hosting, ERP,Training & development, etc.

CONCLUSIONS The response levels of Jemi Cluster customers were good and the problems were rectified with least MTBF support system. The overall services provided by Jemi Clusterwere good. The customers expectations are yet to be met by Jemi Cluster to provide customized products. This can be achieved only through effective R&D Plant.
