| Summary: | This study aims to identify the factors that influence the implementation of customer relationship management (CRM) technology among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). From the existing literature six factors: relative advantage, cost effectiveness, top management support, information technology (IT) knowledge, government support and competitive pressure were identified to influence CRM technology implementation in organizations in general. The effect and relative importance of these factors on CRM implementation was examined in the context of SMEs in Singapore. Top management support emerged as the most important factor followed closely by relative advantage. The influence of competitive pressure, government support, costeff ectiveness and IT knowledge were found to be not significant.
