Do's and Don'ts when Creating Your CRM Architecture
Customer Relationship Management and e-business are business developments that have forced us to start paying more attention to the overall  architecture of our IT systems. Lack of integration, lack of reliability, redundant and inconsistent business logic, and designs that won't scale are some of the problems that may suddenly become very visible.
A fairly small upfront investment in a well designed and documented architecture will help you derive business value from your CRM systems in the fastest possible way, while at the same time minimize the risk of making costly mistakes in the implementation.
In this talk, Jonas presented some of the frameworks and principles that he has successfully employed while developing the CRM architecture for several large corporations. He also pointed out some of the common traps and mistakes that many organizations have unwittingly fallen into.  Along the way, he illustrated some "best practices" that have proved valuable.
