Now that CRM (Customer Relationship Management) has become a universally accepted industry phrase beyond just media hype, software claims and vendor self serving definitions, the more forward thinking CRM practitioners and pundits have introduced the next evolution of CRM, referred to as CRM 2.0.
There is not a single definition or clear consensus which defines CRM 2.0, however, a generally accepted view suggests that CRM 2.0 has evolved from the origins of social media and web 2.0 and further contributes to the strategic collaboration with prospects and customers through the use of culture, technology and information technology tools in order to generate value for all parties and grow mutual relationships. CRM 2.0 has clearly advanced the CRM software industry from a business to business (BTB) relationship to finally recognize and include the business to consumer (BTC) relationship.
