This assignment is aimed to identify the organization of Microsoft that has CRM system. I will give a brief background of the organization and describe its experience with the CRM. And then, I also give the analysis of the system success in Microsoft. Firstly, we should know the definition of CRM.CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is a combination of business process and technology. And CRM is also defined as integrated sales, marketing, and service strategy that precludes long showman-ship and that depends on coordinated enterprise-wide actions. (Katakana & Robinson, 2001) In business since 1994, CRM was started to provide software-consulting services to small or medium sized companies.
