Project VRM

VRM, or Vendor Relationship Management, is the reciprocal of CRM or Customer Relationship Management. It provides customers with tools for engaging with vendors in ways that work for both parties.

CRM systems until now have borne the full burden of relating with customers. VRM will provide customers with the means to bear some of that weight, and to help make markets work for both vendors and customers — in ways that don't require the former to "lock in" the latter.

VRM Conference Call - Thursday February 22 at 10:30 AM Pacific / 1:30 PM Eastern

Hello, all. We've endured, er, celebrated Valentines Day and Presidents Day, so now it is time to prepare for the bi-weekly Project VRM Conference Call. We are scheduled for this Thursday. It will be no doubt presidential, as this is Washington's birthday. Some of us recall when February had two days off from school courtesy of Lincoln and Washington, but Nixon changed all that (and lost the school kiddie vote) with the combined Monday holiday.

Here are the details (with only one number this time!) for Thursday's call:
