Integrated Approach to CRM: Partner Information OVERVIEW Organizations of all sizes are now investing again to improve the customer management capabilities they ve neglected during the past 2 years. Business process leaders in midsized organizations are challenged to pick the best CRM solutions to to capitalize on the upturn. Recent research shows that B2B companies identify improved customer loyalty as their top goal. B2B companies are also intent on capturing and retaining new customers. To support achievement of these important priorities, CRM technology solutions are widely used by organizations of all sizes. Forty-four percent of the 473 midsized organizations [surveyed by Forrester] in North America and Europe have already implemented a CRM solution and many of these are investing more to upgrade their tool set. An additional 23% plan to adopt a CRM solution within the next 12 to 24 months. Copy/excerpts taken from: The Forrester Wave: CRM Suites for Midsized Organizations, 2010.

By offering these local RSI s with ISV relationships the capability to provide integrated CRM applications by incorporating technologies from Cognos, Cast Iron and Lotus, IBM brings those ISVs and resellers of CRM applications a huge opportunity in the midmarket. Ideal BPs will have an established CRM presence and customer base, and be looking for technologies to supercharge their offerings ahead of their competitors. Fin. Mgmt / Fin. Ops 55% What can BPs gain by selling this solution? One of the key goals of IBM s approach to midmarket applications is to help ISVs and their downstream partners make more money per engagement when they increase the value of their application with IBM technology.. IBM's application framework allows ISVs to wrap around IBM's market leading hardware and software/middleware stacks to provide end to end IT solution thereby increase wallet share. Each time a partner resells an IBM software/middleware around its own CRM application, it gets a number of services opportunities like consulting, implementation, integration, and maintenance & support, and are thus able to deliver an end to end CRM solutions to its clients, and increase its services revenue pie. Simply put, incorporating IBM technology into an Integrated CRM solution can help a business partner gain both mind share as well as wallet share from its clients.
