From RM to CRM The concept of relationship marketing was first coined by
Leonard Berry in 1983. He considered it to consist of attracting, maintaining and enhancing customer relationships within organizations. In the years that followed, companies were engaging more and more in a meaningful dialogue with individual customers. In doing so, new organizational forms as well as technologies were used, eventually resulting in what we know as Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
The main difference between RM and CRM is that the first does not acknowledge the use of technology, where the latter uses Information Technology (IT) in implementing RM strategies.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

CRM is about automating and enhancing the customer-centric business processes of Sales, Marketing, and Service.

Definition of E-CRM: Electronic CRM concerns all forms of managing relationships with customers making use of Information Technology (IT).
The goal is to drive consistency within all channels relative to sales, customer service and marketing initiatives to achieve a flawless customer experience and maximize customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and revenue.
