Implementing a system of Customer Relationship Management : Recurring issues and necessary perspectives of the implementation phase

Sammanfattning: In the mid 90’s, systems of customer relationship management (CRM) spread like wildfire across the globe and there have been a continuous discussion of what features that should be included and how much technology that should be involved. This discussion has led to different perspectives of how to utilize the systems full potential in the most efficient way and ultimately, a vast variety of different systems of CRM have been created. The challenge is no longer to create, but to implement the system to the organization with low risks and without resistance from the employees. Through a literature study, this thesis will try to identify the most recurrent issues within the implementation-phase and through a few interviews confirm that the recurring problems still exist. Due to its vast variety and the time limit of this thesis, the main focus will be to identify the most recurrent issues but not solve them.
