Necessity of identifying customers, creating value for them, meeting their needs as soon as possible and creating a customer centric company culture created a new concept named CRM (Customers Relationship Management). CRM is a cultural aspect which aims to create customer centric structure and culture and also more value for customers. The failure rate of CRM projects is significantly high.

At this thesis work, by the help of literature reviews and conversations with sector professionals, reasons of high failure rate of CRM projects at Telecommunication sector are stated. Also, preventive actions that can be taken to prevent these failures are stated by the help of literature reviews. To create a more useful outcome, these preventive actions are stated on a new system implementation project road map so a road map elaboration for CRM projects of Telecommunication Sector is proposed.
