In my opinion, there are two main options for the implementation of CRM system.
Rapid implementation, best suited for small organizations and lasts, on average, from two weeks to a month. Basic steps for the implementation of CRM done in the following order:

- Transfer of existing data about customers in the CRM system of programs Excel, Outlook, Access, etc.;
- Set up interface (adapting the program to the special course of business processes);
- Training personnel working with the CRM system.
Full implementation - the preferred option for large and medium organizations. A feature of this implementation is more thorough detailed work with the organization of the customer over the couple months. The introduction of such cases as follows:
1. Business Blueprint. Specialists on the introduction of carefully examining the specifics of work, documentation, basic business processes, technical support businesses, conducting interviews with its key employees.
2. A technical task on the basis of pre-survey. It describes the major milestones and timelines for the implementation, the composition of their value and the expected results of the company after the introduction of Monitor CRM.
3. The process of introducing the program in accordance with the terms:
