The recognition is awarded to companies for outstanding CRM initiatives including the overall vision, strategy and process; the degree of organizational collaboration; deployment of CRM technology; transformation of data to applied insight; ability to enhance customer experience; and use of customer-centric metrics.
Tipper Tie, Inc. along with finalists Hard Rock Cafe International and Meriwest Credit Union were selected in the small-to-midsize enterprise category. Canada Post Corp., Bank One and C3RM, Enterprise Customer Management, General Motors Corporation were chosen as finalists in the large-enterprise category.
