Small and Medium Enterprises (UKM) in Indonesia are still managed traditionally since the touch of information technology is not optimal. On the other hand, the number of customers or transactions made by UKM may no longer be of small value. One modern business approach is to pay attention to customer factors, not only before the transaction but also after the transaction. Applications in the field of information technology in this domain are called Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This research tries to develop a CRM model adapted to the community's culture and the SME business model in Indonesia and considers the penetration of information technology in general. The approach used is to use the Prototype model in which the system creation process is structured and has several stages that must be passed so that the information system becomes better and easier. The results show the small and medium businesses can make CRM simpler and more generic

This study addresses factors commonly examined in the research concerning adoption and use of e-business and e-commerce information technology (EEIT) by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The primary objectives are to determine: 1) what barriers and incentives SMEs perceive in adopting EEIT; 2) how the level of adoption of EEIT influences perceptions of incentives and barriers; and 3) whether results vary depending on demographic characteristics of size, geographic market scope, or industry sector. This paper also examines how homogenous SMEs’ perceptions are in their consideration of EEIT adoption factors. Data were collected from 290 U.S. SMEs. The findings revealed that among 25 factors identified in the research literature as incentives or barriers to adoption of EEIT by SMEs, only 16 factors were significant in the population studied, 12 as incentives and four as barriers. Factors were perceived differently as incentives or barriers by adopters, intended adopters, and non-adopters of EEIT. A number of differences were found among SMEs based on demographic characteristics, particularly size and industry-sector.
