Business Intelligence and CRM

Introduction

The Myth of CRM, business


intelligence, and enterprise
system
The Myth of SAP
SAP has been able to legitimately tell analysts that it
has a large number of systems "deployed," or in
customers' hands -- but that's not the same as saying the
systems are implemented and in use, which is really
what market share ought to represent.
According to a research published last year by Gartner
(NYSE: IT), only about 25 percent of SAP's CRM
software gets implemented in the first 12 months after
a customer accepts the CD, versus 90 percent
deployment of some other CRM vendors' software
within 12 months.

UK research firm Butler Group suggests that as many as 70% of
CRM implementations fail, while Gartner Group is only slightly
less pessimistic when it claims that 55% of all CRM projects fail to
meet customers' expectations. (Source: Planning is essential to success of
CRM)

knowledge as a strategic asset. Second, it designs and implements
knowledge management processes to formally manage, access and
invest these assets."
