Predictive Analytics - The New CRM

Data is expected to get to 44 zettabytes (1,000,000,000,000 gigabytes) by 2020. Retailers analyze data and apply it in the real world to predict purchase behaviors, optimize which products get shown on a page while scrolling, allow institutions to stop fraud, etc.
Customer relationships management software (CRM) have remained stagnant since the 1990s. CRM has become largely inefficient because reps have to spend tome manually entering data and spend even more time searching through it.
Machine learning and predictive data engines is bringing us closer to enterprise apps that tell users what the highest-value or most-urgent tasks are so they can be prioritized with artificial intelligence and decision support algorithms. The future of CRM is predictive analytics and knowledge of a specific industry and workflows of the business function.

CRM isn’t dead yet, but it will be unless it gets smarter and can save more time rather than wasting tme with data entry and lookup.
