However, moving away from legacy technology debt and <a href="/eu/resources/guides/move-to-leanest-technology-stack/">refocusing IT on innovation</a> (versus systems maintenance) is an essential part of putting customers first. The key is to replace traditional product-centric IT architecture with a truly customer-centric approach.</p> <p>Your CRM platform will play a central role. That’s because an integrated CRM system that’s used across departments:</p> <ul class="enhanced-unordered-list"> <li>Consolidates the number of tools needed for your workforce to do its work.</li> <li>Empowers employees closest to customers to deliver the right experiences at the right time.</li> <li>Delivers insights and recommendations, not just data.</li> <li>Makes customer data easily shareable.</li> <li>Keeps you flexible and connected in an age of APIs, IoT, and the platform economy.</li> </ul> <p>Admittedly, making the transition takes some work. Customer-centered transformation is a journey spanning people, process, and IT that requires evolving legacy mindsets and bridging organisation and information silos to put customers front and center.</p> <p>This same goal has driven our evolution at Salesforce: to help companies break down the traditional silos that often exist between marketing, sales, commerce, service, and IT teams.
