WHERE TO START
To be able to differentiate between one CRM system and another, it is necessary to first properly define the customer relation management systems and examine how a company makes use of them.

CRM system

Sales Marketing Customer service

provides the enterprise with a single view of the customer provides the customer with a whole view of the company regardless of the touch point that he uses Points out :the most loyal customers, the most profitable customers, what the customers like to buy

Front office operations Direct interaction with customers, e.g.

face to face meetings, phone calls, e-mail, online services etc.

Back office operations Operations that ultimately affect the

activities of the front office (e.g., billing, maintenance, planning, marketing, advertising, finance, manufacturing, etc.)
Business relationships Interaction with other companies and

partners, such as suppliers/vendors and retail outlets/distributors, industry networks (lobbying groups, trade associations). This external network supports front and back office activities
Analysis Key CRM data can be analyzed in order to plan

target-marketing campaigns, conceive business strategies, and judge the success of CRM activities (e.g., market share, number and types of customers, revenue, profitability).

First impression

The big change! (maybe?)

From on premises To on-demand (hosted) = the cloud!

ORACLE(SIEBEL)
Offers a unique hybrid model to SMB clients. This model is a mix of hosted and on-site delivery models as well as purely hosted and on-site delivery mechanism. This gives Oracle customers a wider and better range to choose from.

Smb:small business

ORACLE(SIEBEL)
Oracle added Telephony@Work to its CRM offering. When Oracle scanned the CRM On-Demand space, it discovered that none of the venders had a complete offering that would satisfy specific needs of a call center. What was really happening was that the companies had to separately purchase the hardware and software to run a world-class contact center. This not only resulted in a high set-up and running cost but also brought along with it increased complexity of integrating disparate contact center and CRM data.

With the new acquisition under its belt, Oracle became the first CRM applications provider, whether hosted as a service or licensed on-premise, to unify contact center technology and CRM software.
