Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has become a fundamental pillar of corporate strategy. Beyond just managing contacts, a high-performing CRM enables businesses to collect, analyze, and anticipate customer needs in order to respond proactively.

1. CRM: A Key to Digital Transformation

Enhanced personalization: more targeted and relevant marketing campaigns.
Sales optimization: precise tracking of opportunities and pipeline management.
