One of the factors that have driven all these changes is the constant change and evolution of technology. Because of this reality, the CRM concept has evolved in such a way that nowadays it must be viewed as a strategy to maintain a long-term relationship with the customers [1] . A good customer relationship is the key to business success. Relationship building and management, or what has been labelled as relationship marketing, is a leading approach to marketing [2] . The use of customer relationship management (CRM) systems is becoming increasingly important to improve customer life time value [3] .

It was found that just 22% of the companies surveyed possess a uniform customer view and only 37% know which customers are looked after by individual business units [10] . To eliminate weaknesses in customer contact, many companies are either planning or in the process of implementing CRM systems.
