Although modern Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems are increasingly simple with higher user adoption rates, many organizations still find it difficult to takes its full advantage. These organizations often find many hurdles in implementing the system, knowing them early can keep you out of them.

• Inadequately defined requirements. The business scenario and strategies of a company changes dramatically with time, and often businesses fail to modify CRM systems according to these changes.
• Unavailability of technical knowledge/staff. Most on-premise systems require dedicated in-house technical staff to configure and maintain the system. While on-demand systems not demand that much technical knowledge, you still have to configure those well.
• Operational carelessness. Many CRM users are lazy with their sign in and/or sign out processes. Wireless and mobile systems took CRM out of company safety and there is always chance of losing precious log-in data, if you are careless.
• Unavailability of good data. Every CRM system requires good data for analysis and performance. If you provide broken or minimum data the result will be the corresponding that.
• Lack of training and senior management. Each and every possible user has to be trained for using the system, and also there should be at least one senior manager responsible for supervising, configuring and maintaining the system.
• Lengthy user adoption period. This is mainly because of the lack of a systematic approach.
