"Being customer centric focuses your business decision-making processes on
impact that those decisions will have on your customers. The real trick is making
"right" decisions that result in a positive impact. In order to do that,
organization needs to understand who its customers are, where they are going and how can
customer's needs be met. That type of understanding requires information, and information comes from data." says Kevin Murtha of Greenbrier & Russel's, in an article in
September, 2002 edition of DM Review. http://www.dmreview.com/
It is essential for your company to be able to have
systems in place to be able to capture, analyze, and share
information about your customers so that you can be more responsive to their needs, provide them with unparalelled service, and keep them as customers for life.
