According to leading analysts Patricia Seybold Group, customer intelligence is the brains behind customer relationship management (CRM). But how does the modern company incorporate customer intelligence into CRM in the most effective way?
These, and other, questions will be answered at a series of breakfast briefings on the role of business intelligence in (CRM) to be hosted by e-Business Intelligence vendor Business Objects in September. The seminars, in Johannesburg on 19 September and Cape Town on 20 September, will be jointly hosted by Dimension Data, Bytes Technology Group and KPMG.
Presented by Paul Clark of Business Objects, the sessions will explore and explain the use of business intelligence to unlock value from a CRM strategy. The seminar will also look at the role played and value added by business intelligence in three key parts of company interaction with customers, known as the "ABCs of CRM": Acquiring new customers; Building valuable relationships with them; and Caring for them.
