Blockchain: CRM's Next Frontier
We've seen a parade of technologies coming into the front office since 2000, including browser-based cloud computing, social media, mobile technology, workflow, journey mapping, and big data and analytics. It's typical that at first there's only a tenuous relationship between the technology and CRM's original mission, but over a short time innovators adopt and commercialize the innovation -- often by rethinking business processes that leverage the technology's attributes. I think the next invasion of CRM will be blockchain technology.
