Is CRM new or not? What is in opposite of Relationship Marketing? CRM Customer Relationship Management Relationship marketing is a strategy designed to foster customer loyalty, interaction and long-term engagement. This customer relationship management (CRM) approach focuses more on customer retention than customer acquisition. Marketing Concept of IT CRM (IS) as a relationship marketing tool Relationship marketing is designed to develop strong connections with customers by providing them with information directly suited to their needs and interests and by promoting open communication. This approach often results in increased word-ofmouth activity, repeat business and a willingness on the customer’s part to provide information to the organization.

EDI constitutes the entire electronic data interchange paradigm, including the transmission, message flow, document format, and software used to interpret the documents. EDI standards describe the rigorous format of electronic documents. EDI "Removing unnecessary process tasks benefits the whole supply chain, allowing improved performance and cost management." 10 steps to Electronic data interchange Step 1: Develop the organisational structure Your first action is to ensure that you have access to the correct skills. Develop EDI coordinators and teams that will drive the program through your organization Step 2: Undertake a strategic review The business areas that benefit most from EDI deployment vary by organization. A strategic review identifies where EDI has greatest potential in your business Step 3: Conduct in-depth analysis An accurate analysis of costs and projected payback when implementing EDI is essential. Step 4: Develop a business-focused EDI solution Selecting the correct EDI solution for your business requires an in-depth understanding of both the technical and business issues – for you and your trading partners. Step 5: Select the correct EDI network provider (VAN) Most organisations find using an EDI provider makes the best business and financial sense. Selecting the correct provider for your business is imperative. 10 steps to Electronic data interchange Step 6: Integrate EDI with the business How an EDI system is designed and developed depends on the amount of custom work required and the amount of internal systems with which data are shared. Step 7: Integrate data across the business Most applications impose their own data structures. The data from internal/external systems need to be analyzed in order to ensure they translate into your EDI system. Step 8: Undertake data mapping To ensure the smooth flow of information between internal applications and trading partners, documents need to be mapped to allow effective data transmission. Step 9: Establish a pilot project Before your EDI system goes live within your entire trading community, it is important to select a small number of partners to test the system in ‘near live’ conditions. Step 10: Roll out EDI to trading partners The last action is to implement EDI across your trading partners. This should be achieved in a staged manner that reflects your current business priorities. API Application programming interface Server-side A server-side web API is a programmatic interface to a defined request-response message system, typically expressed in JSON or XML, which is exposed via the web—most commonly by means of an HTTP-based web server. Mashups are web applications which combine the use of multiple such web APIs. Client-side There are a number of client-sides web APIs that have been developed (mostly targeting standardized JavaScript bindings to functionality within a web browser). The Mozilla Foundation created their WebAPI specification which is designed to help replace native mobile applications with HTML5 applications.
