What are the Cultural Differences between the SME and a Large Enterprise
An SME is not big, mature, resource-rich, capital-comfortable, or very knowledgeable about what CRM system it wants. Vendors identify the mid-market range from a low end of $50 million to a high end of $1 billion (USD). Individuals have multiple roles in an SME and their business processes are underdeveloped, with best practices often nonexistent. They view CRM as modular versus enterprise-wide and their CRM implementation should be accelerated and at a fixed price.
Some exceptions however exist within this business space for companies that have implemented best practices and incrementally have improved demarcation of job descriptions. The largest vendors address this space more effectively than they do the typical SME space, but they still do not have a clear understanding of the difference between these organizations and large enterprises. The processes embedded in good SME CRM software applications have to be flexible enough to recognize constantly shifting roles and responsibilities. Often to be able to use CRM functionalities, mid-sized companies have to shift how they do business.
