The integration of customer data has been used in many contexts over many years, but increasing competition and the demands of the customers make greater and greater demands on the quality of customer data that goes from one system to another.

By implementing CRM with focus on Master Data management on customer data you will get:

  • A high data quality
  • Integrated customer data into a single system (Sales)

Many companies work in many different systems, such as accounting systems, CRM systems, applications to internet sales etc., which increases the likelihood of incorrect data and duplicates. Duplicate detection is one of the major problems with the integration of customer data because a customer could be in multiple systems with different information. This could destroy the overview of your company's customer data.

When businesses in the future will upgrade or replace its ERP solutions - in order to continuous offering support and operation of a modern ERP solution and ongoing maintenance of the key elements of such a solution, It will be a completely different approach to the use of the ERP system, than we know today.

There will be a focus on the roles and processes rather than functions, as we know from the "old" ERP-solution. In this context, melts ERP, SCM, MRP, CRM and Web portals more and more together – that is why it makes perfect sense that early thinking CRM into this role/process approach to cover the sales, marketing and service needs in the short and long term.

Integration between the various systems:
In order to be able to move and update data between the company's various systems, it requires that you know the various systems data model and has some great tools that can help to manage data - integration will here be very centrally.

There can be used many different methods and tools for integration between systems. It is important to use proven and standardized tools, since you must be able to continually upgrade these tools so that they can be used with the new versions coming for various databases and business applications, so you can constantly get its data flow to function – i.e. could work with its master data, for example; customer data without problems in everyday life. Another important parameter is that the chosen tools at any time must be able to be configured to move data between systems and not be encoded/developed as one, with too much code/development, can create unstable solutions, which are difficult for several persons to maintain, as only one or a few persons know the code.
