o Quotation and Sales Order Management – if an opportunity is reached the quotation phase a quotation is formed and if this is won the quotation is turned into a sales order – the sales order then gets passed to the ERP system.
o Activity Management – this represents activities that go on within the sales and service areas with the interaction with the customer including meetings, discussions, calls and emails.
Operational – this is the automation of customer support and the processes that include the company’s sales and service representative.
Collaborative – is the direct communication between the customers that does not include a company’s sales and service representative.
