Using electronic media for interaction with customers enables enterprises to integrate customer activity and knowledge about customers resulting in a high-quality relationship thus turning buying processes more efficient.

Our discussion is structured around the four steps of the customer profile life cycle: modelling customer profiles, data input, data processing, and information output.
