What is Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM) software?

Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM) software is a centralized digital platform that securely consolidates all stakeholder and community information into one accessible location. It enables teams to log, track, and report on stakeholder interactions, issues, commitments, and engagement activities, streamlining the stakeholder management process.

SRM software helps organizations manage relationships and communications with greater efficiency, transparency, and security by organizing all stakeholder data within a single platform. It enhances collaboration across internal teams and external contractors, ensuring everyone involved in stakeholder engagement is informed and aligned.

For a more in-depth overview, explore our ultimate stakeholder relationship management guide.

What is the difference between an SRM and a CRM?

While both Stakeholder Relationship Management (SRM) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems store contact information, they serve very different purposes and workflows:

  • SRM software is designed specifically for managing stakeholder engagement. It helps organizations track relationships, communications, issues, and commitments with stakeholders over time. SRMs are ideal for those focused on engagement and consultation activities.
  • CRM software is built primarily for sales and marketing teams to manage customer interactions and move prospects through a sales funnel. CRMs focus on deal tracking, lead generation, and customer service.

Using a CRM for stakeholder engagement management is usually ineffective because you're engaging with stakeholders, not selling to customers. For a deeper dive, see our blog, 'SRM vs CRM: What's the Difference?'

Our expert Customer Success team will guide you through the process to ensure seamless data migration, accuracy, and continuity.
