Description

This study examines the state of CRM adoption in the Canadian public sector. This research document provides valuable insight, prediction and prescription for both public sector executives and IT vendors targeting the Canadian public sector.

CRM adoption is slowest in federal government. CRM solutions lack connections to key databases. Sales-centric CRM solutions will be developed in-house. Vendors must provide public sector specific CRM analytics.

"Beyond the obvious software opportunity, the Canadian public sector's focus on CRM solutions will create opportunities for IT services firms. In the Canadian public sector ? as in the broader market ? services firms should expect the majority of their CRM services revenues to come from consulting & systems integration and outsourcing."

Jamie Sharp, Research Director, Customer Segments
