How Is Socially Enabled CRM Different?
At present, it’s not any different Socially enabled CRM applications have the
same social features as all enterprise applications
There are no special clusters of features Social tools depend on the vendor more than
the application

Socially Enabled CRM Situation
Social tools are deployed to as many people as possible and not targeted to CRM
When they are, there are a lot of tools There is nothing special about how social tools
are implemented within CRM Social tools are often not integrated into
enterprise applications Don’t despair: This is only the first wave

The CRM-Social Disconnect
Organizations want and get more efficient operations and collaborate better
Organizations want but don’t get higher productivity
Organizations don’t want better customer service and get that – which is not good
04/08/2023 ©2012 SugarCRM Inc. All rights reserved. 11
The benefits are working better internally rather than interacting with customers

Inhibitors to Wider Adoption
Outside of costs and regulatory concerns inhibitors are:
Poor alignmentEnd-user resistanceLack of executive buy-in (i.e. More resistance)

Integration And Alignment With Business Processes
Socially enabled CRM systems have too many features
They can’t all be useful to CRM processes Gap between expected benefits and actual
benefits maybe the result of misalignment with business processes
Social tools as deployed don’t support business processes well

Characteristics of Social Tools
Mode Of Communication Persistence Users/Reach Threaded Response Time

Match the characteristics to the process you want to support

Contextual Social Enterprise
Understand the context within which a user operates on a day to day basis.
Place social tools within the context of the user experience.

What To Do About Integration and Alignment
Find the tool that people will actually use most of the time
Integrate the tools to the process not the other way around.
Consider the characteristics of social tools Be judicious; Don’t deploy every social tool
just because you can Hide what you don't use, train on what you do Deploy social tools as part of an enterprise
application or workflow

Focus on The Customer
Overall IT is not using social tools to connect with customers
But CRM is about customers Social tools are not targeted to CRM needs

What Doesn’t Make Sense
Micro-messaging on every entityIt’s like a fire hose of babble
Activity streams that report on everything everyone is doing.
It’s a distractionNot connected to processes or workflowsFollowing only works when users make use of core functions.
Integrated video/audio requires too much attention
You can’t multi-taskIt’s resource heavy

What Makes Sense (Suggestions)
Make social tools part of customer-oriented processesBuild into CRM applications; Do not rely on general company solutionsKeep everything in the CRM system please
Target social tools to user activitiesGroup Chat for escalation in tech support/serviceMicro-messaging for quick tips and important updatesActivity streams for following daily account activityFile sharing for proposalsIM/Internal messaging as a replacement for out of stream emails.
Groups. Organize into groups. Groups help you see only relevant information
04/08/2023 ©2012 SugarCRM Inc. All rights reserved. 20
Think: Context. Relevance. Process.

Example: Escalation in a Technical Support Contact Center
Real-time escalationGroup Chat because it’s carries an expectation of a real-time immediate response, multi-user, many-to-many, but single threaded.Can connect a first-tier agent with an second-tier escalation resource, and if that fails, an engineering resource.Customer is not on hold or has to wait for a call back.Better customer service drives the use of the social tool
