CONCLUSION
The focus of customer relationship management has evolved from customer satisfaction to the creation of values for the
customer. In this model of value creation, customers are viewed as active participants in the value chain and not just the
recipients of goods and services. It is important to look at customers from the customers’ view point and not from the product or
company centric views. Customers can interact with many entities along the value chain directly or indirectly and through
multiple channels. The value creation paradigm requires the integration and real-time optimization of the value chains between
the customer, the firm and its extended enterprise. The new model also requires a forward looking strategy to anticipate customer
needs based on customer intelligence. Furthermore, an integrated set of metrics can be defined across the enterprise to measure
customer relationship performance that ultimately drives customer profitability. This paper proposes an enterprise model
framework that provides a unified view of customers and the integration of operational, analytical and collaborative CRM across
different processes and technologies in the CRM value chain
