We often try to understand what the government does by comparing it with businesses. Just as businesses rely on CRM platforms to connect with their customers better, the same apply to the governments. But the term “customer relationship” in government agencies has a different connotation.

What does CRM for government means?

If we imagine that the citizens are the customers, then the CRM is the platform that allows citizen to connect better with their government. We can go through different examples to illustrate this relationship.

  • Example 1:

People often have questions to their local government and their state governments. They can ask their questions bureaucratically which usually is slow and clumsy procedure. Or they can do it digitally via self-service portals – this is where the CRM platform makes its magic. Citizens can help themselves by using self-service portals without waiting weeks for answer or taking a day off to go to their local government’s office.

  • Example 3

There are also some overlooked processes with which government agencies serve their citizens. The inspection regime is such. Regulatory bodies have to comply with state regulations and earn the public trust by maintaining transparency. That’s why the inspection regime must also be accounted as one of the main relationship points between the government and its citizen.

Although we compare the public sector with businesses, we must always keep in mind that the former have more specific needs.
