partner relationship management (PRM)
Partner relationship management (PRM) is a business strategy for improving communication between
companies and their channel
partners. Web-based PRM software applications enable companies to customize and streamline
administrative tasks by making shipping schedules and other real-time information available to all
the partners over the Internet. Several CRM providers have incorporated PRM features, such as
Web-enabled spreadsheets shared
through an extranet,
in their software applications. PRM is often compared to customer relationship management (CRM) and there is some argument over
whether the complex relationships of channel partnerships makes it necessary for PRM to be a
separate entity, or merely a component of CRM.
