Offers that are well-tailored to individual customer needs on the basis of proprietary information via CRM are hard for competitors to detect or match. Order this report and find out more...

5 Sample information from the report Drivers of ebusiness With the awareness of these opportunities, a great deal of Internet related activities took place in GlaxoWellcome. For example, 120 ebusiness projects were underway in 36 of GlaxoWellcome's operating companies by the end of The objectives of the projects were mostly related to medicines information and some were also focusing on DTC advertising, clinical research and physician outreach. Similar types of ebusiness initiatives were also taken up by SmithKline Beecham companies. Following the merger, GSK has formulated a clear ebusiness strategy. A central ebusiness group was created with a leadership from the main board. The initial task of the group has been educating the organizations of both the GW and SB culture with the opportunities and limits of web technology in three broad business areas: B2C - consumers, patients, healthcare, doctors, analysts; B2B - procurement, trade/channel exchanges, global supply chain; B2E - recruitment, HR, training, knowledge management The web-based projects were set to accomplish two key objectives: Realise cost savings through internal efficiency - eprocurement, E-HR, my GSK; Enhance revenues and customer access - interactive product sites, opinion leader, web pages, esubmissions.
