Introduction
CRM can stand for Customer Relationship Management or Constituent Relationship Management, depending on whether the group developing the software is optimizing for the needs of commercial organisations marketing goods and services to customers, or the needs of not-for-profit groups interacting with members and supporters. CRM packages aimed at not-for-profits are sometimes also known as AMS (Association Management Systems). Software packages that provide CRM functions sometimes integrate others sets of functions including website CMS (Content Management System). Strypey (talk) 10:49, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
