Nowadays, CRM systems are used almost everywhere and it is impossible to imagine practice without them. Despite high investments, however, the results of many CRM projects are often disappointing. Real success with regard to data analytics and data leadership is lacking. But what explains the inefficiency of these measures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conquest of new markets, sales growth, and digital and automated marketing are keywords that are crucial for the future development of companies. CRM systems are proving to be an indispensable component for the practical implementation of such sales projects and for meeting the requirements at all. However, it can often be observed that the desired results remain elusive despite complex and costly system implementations. Instead of the hoped-for digital excellence, companies achieve only minor results from the CRM implementation - especially on the data side, many problems arise, outdated data and poor evaluability. How does this situation arise and what factors can positively influence results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on practical experience and numerous projects, BRCG comes to the conclusion that the focus of most CRM projects is too little on sales requirements and too much on IT requirements. This can also be seen in the project ownership, which is mostly in the IT area. The CRM providers shine with dashboard displays during the presentation. The actual problems and deficits, however, are on a completely different level. In practice, the focus should be more on the sales requirements, especially the data process, which, metaphorically speaking, represents the nervous system of CRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shit-In, Shit-Out - In numerous cases, outdated and unsystematic data structures are transferred to new systems. In the process, data entry and, in particular, data updating are often ignored. However, these are central, as they represent the actual basis for the functioning of any system. As a result, the data within the CRM systems is mostly incomplete, not integrated and not evaluable. The benefit for subsequent sales measures is thus too low and hardly allows any application. This creates a vicious circle, because poor data results in little outcome and, in turn, little applicability for users in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One reason for the problem is that companies do not know or incorrectly assess the actual quality status of their data. They are dissatisfied with the poor results of their CRM projects but unable to take and initiate adequate measures. Our tip: The CRM perspective must be turned around and focused on data quality and the data entry process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durch langj\u00e4hrige Erfahrung und die Umsetzung vielz\u00e4hliger Projekte im Bereich Database und CRM ist es BRCG m\u00f6glich, konkrete Ma\u00dfnahmen aufzuzeigen, die Unternehmen bei ihrer Zielverfolgung unterst\u00fctzen.

1. determine data status (data checkup): What is the status of my dataset?<\/strong>
First of all, it is important to determine whether one's own data master is complete or possibly has systematic gaps. The data fields and data filling must be analyzed. Furthermore, the duplicate status must be ascertained and the degree of integration determined. Identifying the problem pattern is a challenge when there are often more than 10,000 data records within a system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
