Enterprise CRM implementations are usually wild west ventures.
The script is worryingly familiar. Countless manual hours gathering requirements, haggling over budgets, balancing different stakeholder agendas etc with no direction. For your enterprise CRM implementation project to deliver Business results, you need four important components, as listed below.
1. A design that focuses on customer journey
The differentiator today for any business is not a product, but an experience. And customer journeys make it possible. A typical design will focus on the following in chronological order.
- Engaging
- Purchasing
- Utilizing
- Sharing
- Upgrading/replacing
A great journey is similar to a blockbuster drama with the right script. A good customer journey design will result in faster onboarding, minimal manual intervention and (almost) instant fulfillment.
2. A multi-channel experience
Today's customers demand better and faster services than their last Interaction. this is possible if you have processes that include multi-channel experience. Customers glide across devices and channels with the granted assumption that the data and experience will remain the same. Use CRM solutions so as to not disappoint them. An omnichannel UX approach will result in a brilliant experience that translates to higher brand interaction. Seamlessly stitch as many channels you can in a single interaction.
3. A process that goes beyond the fences

custom offers that guarantees higher conversions. It also minimizes security concerns on multiple data breaches.
Business leaders usually look for easy to use a CRM platform that can be implemented quickly and put to work. Take care of the above four components to solve integration issues and reduce operational costs.
