CRM Implementations the Right Way
There’s always a right way and a wrong way to do most things. In fact, there’s typically several right and several wrong ways. So why is it then that many companies seem to choose the wrong way to implement their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution? Don’t they read all the articles and white papers we’ve been writing over the years that explain why these systems fail and how to avoid these failures? Don’t they care? Don’t they believe us? It’s really quite simple, albeit not very easy. It takes commitment and a concerted effort to ensure you have a successful CRM implementation, both strategically and technically.

Understanding Customer Relations Management
CRM initiatives have resulted in increased competitiveness for many companies as witnessed by higher revenues and lower operational costs. Managing customer relationships effectively and efficiently boosts customer satisfaction and retention rates (Reichheld, 1996a, b; Jackson, 1994; Levine, 1993). CRM applications help organizations assess customer loyalty and profitability on measures such as repeat purchases, dollars spent, and longevity. CRM applications help answer questions such as “What products or services are important to our customers? How should we communicate with our customers? What are my customer's favorite colors or what is my customer's size?” In particular, customers benefit from the belief that they are saving time and money as well as receiving better information and special treatment (Kassanoff, 2000).

Digital vs. Offset Printing: How To Choose?
Design is a complex and multilayered industry, and just as good design begins about ten steps before pen actually hits paper (or tablet, as it were), neither does it end when the final digital proofs are approved and delivered. The actual implementation of the design must be treated with considerable thought and care as well, if you’re interested in gaining maximum effect from the design itself. The most common implementation questions we come across are often in regards to printing… what finishes to use, what stock, and most often, should we use digital or offset printing?

No matter how well you plan the implementation of a project, nine times out of ten, some barrier or obstacle is going to occur that you just hadn't foreseen, so what to you do when this happens? You will have to invent ways to get over around or though the obstacles that do occur, and that is going to take creative thinking. In my experience the main unforeseen issues that crop up are managerial issues. The people in charge of the implementation project, that is the business owner and/ or manager either fail to identify some required activities in advance or the whole planning stage was not done correctly, with the outcome being...nothing works.
