The principles of building the CRM strategy, enabling building and strengthening ties with the client (including ensuring its safety in relationship with a company), thanks to which the company can expect continuous sales, have been presented. Exemplary tools used in CRM (such as: call centre, contact centre, key account management) are listed and described. An attempt has been made to assess the cost-effectiveness of implementing the CRM philosophy in the enterprise based on the SWOT analysis. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of such an undertaking were analysed, and the results were presented in the summary and final conclusions.

As competition and the cost of acquiring new customers continue to increase, the need to build and enhance customer relationships has become paramount for businesses. The building of strong customer relationships has been suggested as a means for gaining competitive advantage (Mckenna, 1993) so, in today’s marketplace, a growing number of firms seek to develop profound, close and long-lasting relationships with their customers since it is much more profitable to keep and satisfy current customers than to manage an ever-changing customer portfolio (Reinartz & Kumar, 2003; Ross, 2005; Llamas-Alonso et al. 2009). This one is a consequence of many paradigmatical changes in the marketing field during the past decades, such as a transition from a focus on the product, transactional marketing, acquiring clients (responsive marketing approach) and market share towards a customer centric approach, relationship marketing, two-way communication, retaining customers (proactive and holistic marketing approaches) and share of customer. Thus, in this fastmoving and highly competitive scenario Customer Relationship Management (hereafter referred to as CRM) emerges as a business philosophy devoted to enhance customer relationships and consequently create value for both the company and the customer.

Thus, the latest information technologies and systems are emphasized as one of the most important features of competitive ability of an organisation. As information technologies are getting more and more important in determining the advantage of a company in the business world, CEOs of organisations should pay more attention to implementation of systems that contribute to operational capacity of the entire organisation. In order to ensure success of an organisation, it is important to look for new investment solutions helping companies to develop individualized and differentiated ways of interaction with customers, ensuring their loyalty and allowing to maintain competitiveness in the market. More and more often, customer relationship management systems are chosen to achieve these aims. These systems are applied for business to efficiently manage relations with customers of a company; they help increasing the benefit obtained by every supplier or customer to the maximum and improving the results of the entire activity. Due to the increase in the number of organisations implementing customer relationship management systems (CRM), it is becoming important to study and evaluate these technologies and their influence.

Santrauka Šiandienėje visuomenėje, vykstant sparčiai technologijų kaitai, globalizacijos procesui, spartėjant gyvenimo tempui ir didėjant informacijos svarbai, informacinėms technologijoms skiriamos investicijos nuolatos auga visame pasaulyje. Todėl, naujausios informacinės technologijos ir sistemos iškyla kaip vienas iš svarbiausių organizacijos konkurencingumo bruožų. Pastaraisiais metais, mokslinėje literatūroje vis dažniau galima rasti tyrimų pavyzdžių, nagrinėjančių ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemas (CRM) kaip kokybiškai naują informacinę technologiją. Tyrinėjimai šioje srityje leistų geriau suvokti esamas problemas, susijusias su ryšių su klientais valdymo (CRM) sistemomis ir taip užpildyti literatūroje esančią spragą. Straipsnio tikslas – išanalizuoti literatūros, susijusios su ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemomis (CRM), šaltinius, ir, remiantis organizacijų požiūriu, ištirti ir įvertinti ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemos (CRM) taikymo privalumus ir trūkumus. Siekiant įvardinti motyvuojančius faktorius, skatinančius organizacijas diegtis ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemas (CRM), buvo atliktas tyrimas. Pasitelkus anketą buvo apklausti visi ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemos (CRM) ekspertai, dirbantys Lietuvos viešojo judriojo telefono ryšio organizacijose. Remiantis tyrimo rezultatais nustatyta, kad svarbiausi bei reikšmingiausi šioms organizacijoms motyvacijos veiksniai yra: nesugebėjimas sistemiškai kaupti ir analizuoti duomenis (60%), pardavimo galimybių trūkumas (40%), nesugebėjimas tinkamai koordinuoti darbus (40%). Tyrimo metu nustatyta, jog ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemą (CRM) ekspertai įvertino kaip nesudėtingą naudoti (75%). Dažniausiai šią sistemą įsidiegusių organizacijų susiduria su tokiomis problemomis kaip neefektyvus ryšių su klientais valdymo sistemos (CRM) galimybių išnaudojimas, taip pat, šios sistemos neatitikimas organizacijoms poreikiams, trukdantis sėkmingai naudotis įdiegta sistema.Straipsnis anglų kalba.
