On-Premise CRM Versus On-Demand (Hosted) CRM

I am a final year undergraduate at Loughborough University studying Computing & Management and as part of my course I am required to complete a dissertation.

I have chosen as my subject Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems – specifically to explore the benefits and disadvantages of hosted (on-demand) such as salesforce.com versus in-house (on-premise) solutions such as SAP for different types and sizes of organisation including small businesses.

If your company uses CRM or are thinking of using CRM I would be very grateful if you could spend a few minutes of your time to help me by completing the short on-line questionnaire at the following link:

The responses will be anonymous, will not be linked to you or your organisation and will only be used to produce summary feedback

Thanks
Jon

Dissertation

Hi,

I am studying key account management at Reims Management School, France, and I am really interested in learning more about CRM matters. I think my dissertation will also deal with this subject!

Best regards

Alex

There is a chapter in my 2005 book "Customer relationship management: concepts and tools" (Elsevier) that examines key account management from a CRM perspective. It mnight be of use to you. Good luck with the project.
