INTRODUCTION

Customer relationship management is an imperative measure in any service

sector. It is the main tool in marketing management to acquire more numbers of

customers and to create one to one interaction with transparency and honesty.

Today the companies have to move from managing a market, to managing

specific customers. But managing the customers and retaining them for long

time is not easy task in a competitive market. Besides coping with changing

psychology, preferences and needs of the customers is becoming challenging

one. So the business organizations now a day are taking the help of data base

management system for customer retention and e-CRM is the out come of such

system. The requirement of relationship marketing is prominent in the service

sectors especially in Indian market to create trust and valuable strategic

customer care. This will definitely raise the concept of customer relationship

management for long term relationship and value added service. This study will

focus on CRM application for insurance sector related to their communicating

channels for customers, customer satisfaction and customer retention. Insurance

is an upcoming sector, in India the year 2000 was a landmark year for life

insurance industry. In this year the life insurance industry was liberalized after

more than 50 years. Insurance sector was once a monopoly, with LIC as the

only company, a public sector enterprise. But now-a-days the market is opened

up and there are many private players competing in the market. There are above

30 private life insurance companies have entered the industry. After the entry of

these private players, the market share of LIC has been considerably reduced. In

the last five years the private players are able to expand the market (growing at

30% per annum) and also have improved their market share to above 18%.For

the past five years private players have launched many innovations in the

industry in terms of products, market channels and advertisement of product,

agent training and customer services etc.

Page 7: Final Crm Anshul 2

In today’s dynamic environment, the insurance industry has witnessed many

spectacular changes in terms of advancement in technology, strengthening of

the existing customer base and acquiring new customers. In this age of

information and uncertainty, more and more people have started recognising the

importance of insurance. However, the present situation in the insurance

industry is characterised by complexity and competitive situations. At present,

insurance industry is one of the leading industry in India. There are about 30

players operating in both life and non-life segments and one is reinsurer. Today,

the main challenge before insurance companies is the attraction and retention of

customers to its various policies.

On a global scale a number of insurers are competing and offering the

customers a plethora of products. The knowledge-savvy customer is demanding

greater flexibility and better service from the service providers. For the

insurance companies to survive competition, succeed and profit, there is only

one option – to learn from and actively respond to customer expectations.

Insurers are focusing on retaining customers by analyzing, understanding and

predicting customer behavior and improving sales efforts.

In the Indian context, since the ’90s, successive governments have embarked on

ushering in liberalization to keep pace with a rapidly changing global scenario.

The doors for private participation were opened in a number of sensitive

sectors, insurance being one of them. For the past few decades, insurance was

looked upon as a plain vanilla tax-saving investment product. 

Currently, the Insurance Industry is in a state of change where today's industry

field is becoming extremely complex and more competitive. As the industry

continues to search for growth, obtaining clients has become difficult due to

large market share ownership by the big insurance providers. Economic

Page 8: Final Crm Anshul 2

downturn is making it a problem to realize top-line growth, placing a higher

emphasis on improving profits by way of cost management. It seems like today,

anyone who is able to form some sort of insurance products, is. They are

marketing, selling it, and in turn creating even more competition. Banks have

begun to become the main cause of this new insurance surge, and there are a

larger percentage of people out there buying this insurance that really is not as

beneficial as buying coverage from a true insurance carrier. Today's customer is

capable of doing their own research on the Internet, comparing who is the best

buy for the right amount of money, adding to the increases pressure of reaching

target margins, return of equity and capture the wanted market share.

Compounding the problem over all of this is the recent blast of mergers and

acquisitions, which have taken place. Regulations have also impacted how

business is run, causing the insurance world to be additionally complicated. The

sluggish economy, regulatory changes and the ever changing state of transitions

technologies are in, is reshaping the insurance industries dynamics.Insurance

organizations have now found themselves caught in the race to continually

enhance products, adjust to new challenges, while trying to use this change as

an opportunity. These once 'product-centric' business's are finding the need to

turn into a 'customer-centric' operation in the attempt to achieve business goals,

retain customer retention, reduce operation costs, to hopefully in the end see

some revenue growth. This transition can seem straightforward, but is a

substantial implementation requiring good preparation and careful planning. It

seems that to become and remain customer centric, success can only be found

when supported by the right, on demand, enterprise-wide, small business CRM

(customer relationship management) deployment. Customers have made service

an issue for Insurance organizations, and to support your customers with

everything they need to be and stay satisfied is a huge challenge on top of all the

ones mentioned above.The difficulty of providing quality service in order to set

themselves apart from competitors is a challenging task because of the low

Page 9: Final Crm Anshul 2

frequency of client interactions due to the nature of insurance products. The

need now is to make every interaction with the client count become important

because of the direct correlation with the bottom line impact it creates.Today, in

order to gain the needed knowledge and comprehensive view of small business

to better manage customers, brokers and agents, the insurance leaders are

swiftly and aggressively deploying small business CRM solutions that have

been specifically tailored to meet the needs of the insurance company. These

insurers are looking for small business CRM implementations that are designed

to help them reach small business goals, improve client retention and lower

costs across the board, while remaining efficient. The undisputed need to find a

flexible tool that is easy to utilize to support small business operations, create

opportunities to leverage and integrate the future's technology is a top concern.

Insurance is a complex product where personalized service-achieved through an

intimate knowledge of customers and their histories with an insurance

company-is critical to making sales. As insurance options broaden and products

grow more complex, customers seek superior, personalized service more than

ever. Most insurance companies understand the virtues of a single, complete,

real-time enterprise view of individual customers, and they have made great

progress towards providing this view at customer touch-points throughout the

enterprise. But it's critical to note that this view should not be regarded as an

end in and of itself-rather, it is a rich foundation to be used as a basis for a

deeper, more advanced level of customer understanding. Customer Relationship

Management is a comprehensive strategy and process of acquiring, retaining

and partnering with selective customers to create superior value for the

company and the customer. In an organization relationships exist between

employees, clients, customers, citizens and enterprise itself. An organization

could succeed only if it implements the strategy of CRM in right manner. CRM

helps businesses use technology and human resources to gain insight into the

Page 10: Final Crm Anshul 2

behavior of customers and the value of those customers. There are many aspects

of CRM which were mistakenly thought to be capable of being implemented in

isolation from each other. From the outside of the organization, a customer

experiences the business as one entity operating over extended periods of time.

Thus piecemeal CRM implementation can come across to the customer as

unsynchronized where employees and web sites and services are acting

independently of one another, yet together represent a common entity.

With the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act in 1999, insurance companies face

increased competition from banks and brokerages. With the enactment of the

Patriot Act, insurance companies need to ensure that they "know their customs."

To maintain competitive edge and viability, insurance companies are focusing

intently on delivering superior customer service. A comprehensive customer

relationship management (CRM) strategy addresses three imperatives: Sum

providing a unified enterprise customer view; Sum retaining customers with

great services; and Sum controlling costs as the insurance company in question

expands.

HOW CAN CRM HELP INSURANCE COMPANIES?

CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT- Companies need to identify customers, tailor

products and services to meet their needs and sell these products to them. CRM

achieves this through Campaign Management by analyzing data from

company's internal applications or by improving data from external applications

to evaluate customer profitability and designing comprehensive customer

profiles, they can identify the most lucrative customers and customer segment,

and execute targeted, personalized multi-channel marketing campaigns to reach

these customers and maximize the lifetime value of those relationships.

Page 11: Final Crm Anshul 2

CUSTOMER INFORMATION CONSOLIDATION- Instead of customer

information being stored in product centric silos, with CRM the information is

stored in a customer centric manner covering all the services/products of the

company. CRM integrates various channels to deliver a host of services to

customers, while aiding the functioning of the company.

MARKETING ENCYCLOPEDIA- Central repository for products, pricing

and competitive information as well as internal training material, sales

presentations, proposal templates and marketing collateral.

360-DEGREE VIEW OF COMPANY- This means whoever the employees

speak to, irrespective of whether the communication is from sales, finance or

support, the company is aware of the interaction. Removal of inconsistencies of

data makes the client interaction processes smooth and efficient, thus leading to

enhanced customer satisfaction.

PERSONALIZED SALES HOME PAGE- CRM can provide a single view

where sales managers and agents can get all the most up-to-date information in

one place, including opportunity, account, and news and expense report

information. This would make sales decision fast and consistent.

LEAD AND OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT- This enable organizations

to effectively manage leads and opportunities and track the leads through deal

closure, the required follow-up and interaction with the prospects.

ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT- It helps managers to assign and track the

activities of various members. Thus improved transparency leads to improved

efficiency.

Page 12: Final Crm Anshul 2

CONTACT CENTER- It enables customer service agent uniform service

across multiple channels such as phone, Internet, Email & Fax.

OPERATIONAL INEFFICIENCY REMOVAL- CRM can help in strategy

formulation to eliminate current operational inefficiencies. An effective CRM

solution supports all channels of customer interaction including telephone, fax,

e-mail, the online portals, wireless devices, and face-to-face contacts with

company personnel. It also links these customer touch points to an operations

center and connects the operations center with relevant internal and external

business partners. 10.

ENHANCED PRODUCTIVITY- CRM can help in enhanced productivity of

customers, partners and employees.

CRM WITH BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE- Companies need to analyze the

performance of customer relationships, uncover trends in customer behavior,

and understand the true business value of their customers. CRM with business

intelligence allows companies to assess customer segments, which help them

calculate the net present value (NPV) of a customer segment over a given

period to derive customer lifetime value. Customer can be evaluated within a

scoring framework. Combining the behavior

How CRM Meets the Insurance Industries Needs

So most insurers now are automated or in the process of becoming so, but these

systems are still geared towards being product-centric. They can meet the call

for claims management, billing, policy admin, actuary systems and so on, but

are falling short in the capability to be customer-centric. Not being fully

Page 13: Final Crm Anshul 2

integrated in all of the small business processes, companies cannot improve

efficiencies, resolution times or accuracy of responses. Many years have gone

by where insurance businesses believed that customer management was directly

connected with service delivery and paying broker commissions on time. No

longer is this infrastructure sufficient enough to support a pure customer centric

operation. The forward thinking insurance companies have started to realize

small business CRM ventures are the catalyst to delivering the high quality

service clients are looking for and reduce operation costs all at once. Small

business CRM has become a very powerful tool in the goals to satisfy current

customers and win over new ones. Nothing else directly affects loyalty or the

ability to consolidate accounts like relationship building activities. If you

implement an operational small business CRM solution, well-defined,

quantifiable effects will happen to the institution that is choosing this as a

strategy.

There are four crucial customer centric areas that will be affected by a small

business CRM solution, creating long-term relationships.

Amalgamated customer view

Targeted marketing for growth and retention

Incorporated, multi-channel services and sales

Efficient management of distribution channels

Importance of CRM:

The focus in CRM is not to try to mold the customers to the company’s goals

but to listen to the customers and trying to create opportunities beneficial to

each. It is important to offer customers what they are currently demanding and

anticipating and what they are likely to demand in the future. This can be

Page 14: Final Crm Anshul 2

achieved by providing a variety of existing access channels for customers, such

as e-mail, telephone and fax, and by preparing future access channels such as

wireless communication.

Provides Greater efficiency and cost reduction: Data mining, which is the

analysis of data for exploring possible relationships between sets of data, can

save valuable human resources. Integrating customer data into a single database

allows marketing teams, sales forces, and other departments within a company

to share information and work towards common corporate objectives using the

same underlying statistics (epiphany.com, 2001).

Improved customer service and support: An E-CRM system provides a

single repository of customer information. This enables a company to serve

according to customer needs quickly and efficiently at all potential contact

points, eliminating the customer’s frustrating and time-consuming “hunt” for

help (epiphany.com, 2001a).

More effective marketing: Having detailed customer information from an E-

CRM system allows a company to predict the kind of products that a customer

is likely to buy as well as the timing of purchases. In the short to medium term,

this information helps an organization to create more effective and focused

marketing/sales campaigns designed to attract the desired customer audience

(epiphany.com, 2001). ECRM allows for more targeted campaigns and tracking

of campaign effectiveness. Customer data can be analyzed from multiple

Perspectives to discover which elements of a marketing campaign had the

greatest impact on sales and profitability (Greenberg, 2001). In addition,

customer segmentation can improve marketing efforts. Grouping customers

according their need similarities allows a company to effectively market

specific products to members of the group.

Page 15: Final Crm Anshul 2

Increasing Market Share: Customer relationship management techniques are

also used to increase the overall market share of the business. Essentially,

treating customers well adds to the value of the business products and services.

If the business impresses customers, it tends to attract more people, increasing

its pool of customers. Loyal customers will then attract others through word of

mouth.

Online Business: Online business is a popular and often necessary component

for many companies; the CRM tool can be responsible to respond the customers

who are trying to purchase the products through online.

FIVE KEY STRATEGIES WITH CRM

But what exactly does CRM enable and what are the potential benefits? While

there are surely many approaches being espoused in the market today, we

believe there are five main strategies that companies can employ to survive and

thrive during uncertain economic conditions:

1. Focus on existing customers

2. Maximize revenue opportunities

3. Do more with less

4. Reduce operational costs

5. Optimize existing IT assets

ICICI AND CRM

ICICI prudential; ICICI prudential has ambitious plans for its retail business

and has implemented the CRM software by the help of SAS and Teradata

solutions. It is implementing various modules of CRM to establish world class

CRM practices for the sake of better customer relationship management. ICICI

prudential life insurance company is using the CRM project properly by

integrating front office, back office and the analytical system.

The bank currently has the ability to process 0.27 million cheques per day and

Manage 7000 concurrent users.

The bank has successfully leveraged the power of Finacle and has deployed the

solution in the areas of core banking, consumer e-banking, corporate e-banking

and CRM. With Finacle, ICICI Bank has also gained the flexibility to easily

develop new products targeted at specific segments such as ICICI Bank Young

Stars- a product targeting children, Women's Account addressing working

women and Bank@campus targeting students

Page 19: Final Crm Anshul 2

Call centers

ICICI Bank is certainly juggling some interesting numbers. Its Bombay call

centre handles 25 different products, for 10 million customers, with 620

positions. Now ICICI Bank’s branch network handles less than half of all

transactions – a shift which has taken an axe to the company’s costto- serve.

ICICI appreciated early on that by centralizing their service infrastructure, and

centralizing their service expertise, they created a new level of service for

customers. The call centre has played a leading role in transforming the bank’s

value proposition for its customers: The call centre also provides an opportunity

to shift the qualitative nature of the relationship between bank and customer to a

new level. Much of the extra leverage with customers that the call centre brings

is tactical. A customer is a lot more receptive to up selling and cross selling

when they’re phoning ICICI. The humble call centre is ICICI Bank’s means of

shifting away from a market share based product-as-commodity mindset, to

those stresses the importance of deepening exiting customer relationship.

E-marketing

The e-initiatives of the ICICI group have not been limited to customer

servicing. The marketing activities for its various products are also taking the

online route. In April 2000, through tie-ups with Orange and Airtel, ICICI

started offering limited WAP based services for customers on the move. A

month later, on its way towards a full-fledged online mobile commerce service,

the company commenced offering services like balance updation, request for

cheque book, details of last 5 transactions, request for statement etc.

Corresponding services are also available for the bank’s credit card customers.

On the anvil are personal banking services, payment services for utilities, travel

and ticketing information etc.

Putting Motor Insurance on the right track

One important parameter that has always differentiated insurers is service. Be it

during the period when the tariff based regime

was going out of phase or now when a new de-tariff scenario is emerging, this is

one parameter which has always remained the same. At Bajaj Allianz, we have

always believed in delivering quality service to our clients. This philosophy has

spawned several initiatives. Some of them are as below:

1. Bajaj Allianz pioneered the cashless model in motor repair claims by

tying up with over 1800 garages/ workshops across India. This enabled our

customers to simply drive-in and drive-out of a garage after paying the nominal

difference of admissible claims

2. Bajaj Allianz is still the only company to automate SMS alerts on the

progress of the claims status to its customers. Four to five SMS alerts are sent

from the time the claim is registered to the issuance of final claim cheque. This

unique service is being offered only by Bajaj Allianz General Insurance to all

its motor insurance clients (provided they have registered their cell numbers).

It delivers total transparency to claims process

Bajaj Allianz Mobile Settlement (BAMS) was recently launched whereby the

claim assessment and payment is made at the customer's doorstep. The

process followed is simple - the customer intimates a claim, the in-house

service engineer armed with all necessary accessories reaches the customer's

doorstep to assess and pay the claim cheque onthe-spot. In addition to this,

suitable advice is given to choose good workshop/ garage and to help resolve

the problem then and there itself. This approach shortens the claim settlement

process and helps in addressing the proble m at an emotional level also. In

most of the cases, the claim cheque is issued on the same day. The service has

been rolled out in all the prominent cities where the company has its offices

Page 34: Final Crm Anshul 2

4.Bajaj Allianz Drive-In Centre (BADIC), is yet another initiative launched by

the company. Here, the customer is required to drive the vehicle to the

designated office where the in-house service engineer assesses the claim and

the claim cheque is paid instantly.In both of these services, the customers are

at an advantageous position. They get the claim instantly and besides that they

have the liberty to bargain the best price with a workshop or garage of their

choice

Page 35: Final Crm Anshul 2

5. Bajaj Allianz offers adequate assistance services to its customers during the

claim process. They can call the 24x7 call centre for on-the-spot assistance.

Depending on the nature of the claim, assistance is accordingly provided to

help with and coordinate any claim procedure that the customer may require

on the spot.

6.The company ensures total transparency throughout the claim settlement

procedure. In case of a cashless settlement, a Claim Amount Confirmation

(CAC) sheet is sent to the customer to inform the rates charged under various

heads. This is to ensure that the customer is not conned by the workshop/

garage. In case the workshop/ garage refuses cashless mode, the company

makes an up-front payment of at least 75% of the admissible claim. The

balance is paid after the survey is completed

LITERATURE REVIEW

The insurance industry has the highest new customer acquisition costs of any

industry,

According to "Rough Notes" magazine. This makes customer retention one of

the top priorities of any insurance company that wants to remain competitive.

Insurance companies accomplish this by creating a personal connection to

customers, pricing competitively and trying to sell each customer multiple

policies to make it a more complex decision to switch insurance providers.

Swift 2002; stated that companies can gain many benefits from CRM

implementation. Such as lower cost of acquiring customers, to acquire so many

customers to preserve a steady volume of business. CRM can help to retain the

customers for long range. Apart from this he stated, the cost regarding selling

are reduced owing to existing customers are usually more responsive. In

addition with better knowledge of channels and distributions, the relationship

becomes more effective as well as that cost for marketing campaign is reduced.

According to Maoz 2003, Research director of CRM for the Gartner group,

CRM is a strategy by which companies optimize profitability through enhanced

customer satisfaction and retention. “CRM is a business strategy, not a

technology, says Maoz.”It involves process, technology and people issues. All

three together really captures what CRM is.

The Indian insurance industry is in a booming phase. In the post-liberalization

phase, due to the opening up of industry for private players, there is greater

exposure to various products and customers have started demanding for world-

class facilities and services. This has forced the companies to rethink on their

customer service strategy by adopting a customer-centric approach.

Page 43: Final Crm Anshul 2

According to a report by independent market analyst data monitor, the insurance

sector is all set to become a front-runner in the adoption of Service Oriented

Architecture (SOA).

Wilson 2001; claimed that organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the

importance of moving closer to their customers and extending their enterprise

units. CRM objectives are to; improve the process to communication with the

right customers, providing the right offer for each customer, providing the right

offer through the right channel for each customer, providing the right offer at

the right time for each customer. By doing this, organizations can receive the

following benefits; like increasing customer retention and loyalty, higher

customer profitability, creating value for customer. Greenberg 2001 stated that

the following objectives seem reasonable for an organization implementing

CRM such as; it focuses the sales force on increasing organizational revenues

through better information and better incentives to drive top line growth, it

improves global forecast and pipeline management to improve organization.

As CRM evolves richer definitions are emerging with an emphasis on the goals,

logistics and complex character of CRM . According to light (2001) CRM

evolved from business processes such as relationship marketing and the

increased emphasis on improved customer retention through the effective

management of customer relationship. Relationship marketing emphasizes that

customer retention affects company profitability in that it is more efficient to

maintain an existing relationship with a customer than create a new one.

Furthermore peppard (2000) suggests that technological in global networks,

convergence and improved interactivity are key to explain the growth of E-

Business and CRM .the increasing use of digital technologies by customers

particularly the internet is changing what is possible and what is expected in

terms of customer management. The appropriate use of automation technologies

Page 44: Final Crm Anshul 2

such as interactive voice response system and web based frequently asked pages

could be popular with customers and highly cost effective. peppard said that in

reality CRM is a complex combination of business and technological factors

and thus strategies should be formulated accordingly.

Although decision made during this phase are critical to the eventual success or

failure of a CRM initiative , there is a paucity of research exploring these

adoption issues (markus and tanis 2000) classified CRM research directions

into:

concept level

model level

process level.

The review of literature ranges from 1972 to 2013 includes around 1000

reference. It was the pioneering working of the researchers that provided the

much needed impetus in the process of understanding and formulating the

sector wise CRM comparison parameter for analysis.

Another measure is Bartlett’s test of sphericity which measure the presence of

correlations among the variables. It provide the statistical probability that the

correlation matrix has significant correlations among at least some of variables.

Thus a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity is required because we could

proceed with the factors such as CRM goals ,CRM principles technology

consideration, technology implementation effects, customer satisfaction , CRM

benefits before and after CRM implementation

Several scholars studying buyer-seller relationships have enriched the literature

with relevant CRM concepts and constructs.

(Gundlatch and Cadotte 1974; Doney and Cannon 1997; Kumar and Jha 2002;

Smith 2004). A compelling business case and success stories continue to attract

Page 45: Final Crm Anshul 2

business interest and investment in CRM. These works focused on the adoption

phase (Rapp and Collins 1991) of a technology based innovation in CRM where

decision- making and planning activities are conducted to address “whether,

why, and how” to implement the innovation in CRM initiatives (Merlin 2001).

Although decisions made during this phase are critical to the eventual success or

failure of a CRM initiative, there is a paucity of research exploring these

adoption issues (Markus and Tanis 2000). Wilson (1995) classified CRM

research directions into concept level, model level and process research.

Several scholars have enriched this literature through model level research

(Liljander and Strandvik 1996; Smith 1997; Donney 2000), concept level

research (Anderson and Hakanson 1994; Berson 1996; Light 1998; Han 2000)

and process level research (Anderson and Narus 2002; Schurr and Oh 2003).

Several studies have been conducted on the impact of CRM programmes on the

performance of banks, hospitals and insurance sector (Aulakh and Kotabe 1997;

Nevin 1998; Souder 2001; Zahay 2004).

Previous researchers have addressed the intellectual alignment (strategy,

structure, goal and principles), social alignment (culture, customer interaction

and domain knowledge) and technology alignment (IT capability and

Knowledge Management) of CRM implementation

(Mulligan 1990; Payne 1994; Reich and Benbasat 2000; Battista 2000).

This body of research generally finds that these CRM alignments “enable a firm

to maximize its IT investments and achieve harmony with its business strategies

and plans, leading to greater profitability”. Several authors have established that

by looking at the relationship development process, one could identify which

Page 46: Final Crm Anshul 2

CRM constructs would actively impact the outcome considerations and which

of them would have latent influence and this will help in establishing a

comparison of CRM parameters (McKie 1992; Simonian and Ruth 1996;

Sodano

1996; Wilson 2006) and insurance sector is no exception.

The review of literature ranges from 1972 to 2006 and includes around 245

references. It was the pioneering work of Rudi (2003), Hewson (2003), Crook

(2002), Schmitt (2006) and Schellong (2005) that provided the much needed

impetus in the process of understanding and formulating the sector wise CRM

comparison parameters

Most of the academics discussing “CRM Systems Implementation” were

inspired with several researches that prove low percentage of successful CRM

implementation cases. Bygstad, for example, draws on Tafti, (2002) research

that revealed 70% failure rate of CRM projects, as did Bull 2003 citing Giga,

(2001) research. On the other hand statistics show growing expenditures on

corporate CRM and big growth rate of CRM software sales (Bull 2003, Rigby,

2004).

Citing Marble (2000) paper that suggests an implied dynamic between user

function and IS function as two main parties engaged in IS implementation,

Corner and Hinton (2002) argue that, at least, in CRM system implementation

dynamic is much more complex and engage other parties, such as extra-

company contributors and project managers. These extra parties, in tandem with

higher sensitivity of organizational politics surrounding sales and marketing or

Page 47: Final Crm Anshul 2

customer service systems, require consideration of new risks, resulting from this

complexity.(Corner and Hinton, 2002)

Gefen (2002) add to this complexity by comparing CRM to ERP systems and

arguing that customer relationship activities are not as standardized as other

business activities, such as accounting or procurement. Hence CRM

implementation calls for much more complex and flexible approach. (Gefen,

2002).

Another specifics of CRM that is brought forward by Rygielski, Wang and Yen

(2002), calls for increased responsibility by CRM implementers in terms of

privacy rights. The authors urge 3 implementers to balance between respect

towards the privacy of consumers and economic gains from using CRM and

establish privacy policy to make sure the CRM doesn’t gain opposite results.

(Rygielski, Wang and Yen, 2002)

The diversity of users in CRM systems implementation is also emphasized by

Fjermestad and Romano (2003), who claim that compared to homogeneous

users of other traditional information systems, users of CRM may include all

levels of management, permanent and temporary field customer service

representatives and customers themselves. Hence the CRM should be designed

to cross much more organizational boundaries and contain broader

functionalities that would be used by both known and unknown users.

(Fjermestad and Romano, 2003).

In a hope to help practitioners to adopt better implementation procedures,

Corner and Hinton build their idea by examining eight sets of CRM specific

implementation risks asserted by Hewson and McAlpine (1999), differing them

Page 48: Final Crm Anshul 2

from other IS implementations. Hewson and McAlpine (1999) present 25 risks

grouped in eight sets that cover quite wide range of aspects of IS

implementation including users, processes, speed of change, politics, need for

mobility and need for change, funding and reliance on methodology.

The case study that Corner and Hinton (2002) used to examine the theoretical

risks is based on a software developer company that adopted and used CRM.

The paper however concludes that most of the risks mentioned by Hewson and

McAlpine were not viable and that other areas need to be examined that can

undermine the CRM implementation process as well as, need to discover how

various risk categories may impact each other. (Corner, Hinton 2002)The paper

also provides with quite valuable insight into technological, economic and

organizational risks to be considered while implementing a CRM system,

however its controversial conclusion leaves little hope for usage by practitioners

as most of the risk

SUGGESTIONS

Better CRM Policy to be launched.

New technology to be adopted for maintaining better Customer Relationship.

With regard to insurance companies, consumers respond at different rates, depending

on the consumers characteristics. Hence Insurance companies should try to bring their

new product to the attention of potential early adopters.

Due to the intense competition in the insurance market, the insurance companies have

to adopt better CRM strategies to attract more customers.

Keeping the cost, quality and return on investment in tact is necessary in order to

tackle the competition.

Life insurance products are taken mainly by middle and higher income group. Hence

they should be regarded as main targeted income groups. Life insurance products

which are suitable for lower income group should also be released so that the market

share increases.

Return on investment, company reputation and premium outflow are most preferred

attributes that are expected by the respondents. Hence greater focus should be given

to these attributes.

Insurance companies should ask for their consumer feedback to know whether the

consumers are really satisfied or dissatisfied with the service.

Proper training for CRM should be implemented in the organization.

The Company should give more Advisement about the product.

The company should be flexible to bend its rules and procedures in the

clients favour

The company can communicate and develop stronger customer bonding by

providing social and financial benefits.
