CRM SYSTEMS: HALF THE ANSWER TO CONTACT CENTER PERFORMANCE
by Michael P. Callaghan
(Excerpt from Call Center Times)
June 18, 2004
The greatest myth in customer-driven organizations is that technology is the ultimate driver of productivity and that a CRM system packed with all the latest bells and whistles is really all your company needs to jump ahead of the competition.

In survey after survey, consumers confess that they are still hugely dissatisfied with their contact center experiences –often characterized by long wait times, repeated transfers, lack of email responsiveness, and uneasy sales pitches. The key cause of this CRM mess which so many companies find themselves in today is that all of the investment in CRM went into technologies that would help manage the “work” and little thought has been given to managing the “people” who would interact with the technology and, most importantly, the customers.
