The continuous development of Information technologies and its interaction with marketing are a resource to create value for the customer. The research was conducted in 73 Greek companies using cross-tab analysis to investigate the possible relation of IT use and CRM adoption in B2B firms. CRM software in companies activities have a significant importance to improve the competitive advantage by understanding better customer needs. Fifty percent of worldwide projects on CRM systems are failing because marketing managers and CEO have the belief that CRM will solve all their company problems. CRM is not only used as a marketing and business tool but a complex combination tool that is applied in various business areas. CRM system aims to the creation of mutual satisfactory long term relationships between buyers and purchasers. The findings reveal that firms apply traditionally CRM processes such as sales and customer service even if they are aware of using Information Technologies in order to interact with clients. |
