Modern CRM Is Evolving To Deliver On The Promise Of A Single View Of The Customer

Application development and delivery leaders who support CRM realize that it encompasses a huge swath of technologies, spanning marketing, sales, eCommerce, customer service, and field service applications. This research shows how CRM vendors are moving back to a single platform.

This has led to siloes of data and process, making a single view of the customer elusive.

Three areas will underpin the return to unified CRM: AI and automation; hyperpersonalization; and value-based pricing models.
