Just as technology has changed the way we communicate with each other, it has also changed the way businesses communicate with their customers. This change is felt more in the customer service area of organisations. Nowadays, you don’t have to be physically present in an organisation to get information about that organisation. The Internet is there to help you connect with it and get the information you need. Also, with the Internet and modern technology, companies can easily get feedback from customers on the services they render. This course will show you the basic structure of Internet customer relationship management, also called the electronic CRM (eCRM) system. You will be shown the basic architecture of a data warehouse, and how it is essential in eCRM.

Lastly, the course presents a case study to explain how GCRM can be implemented successfully in an organisation.
