Abstract- In today’s competitive marketplace, educational<br />
institutions are who offering courses, a degree, and a wealthy life<br />
for alumni. It is more useful for universities to keep its graduate<br />
students as alumni than serve new students and new supporters<br />
for the university to decrease substantially amount of cost.<br />
Students are buyers who register for courses, apply for<br />
graduation, and create donations as graduate students. These<br />
ongoing transactions are satisfactory to both parties, the longer<br />
the relationship will tolerate, to the profit of every one. Basically,<br />
one extremely useful technique to develop this relationship which<br />
has been approved by many corporations is <strong>Customer</strong><br />
<strong>Relationship</strong> <strong>Management</strong> (CRM). The aim of this research is to<br />
deliver a better understanding of the utilization of CRM based<br />
IDIC process model for Alumni Liaison Unit to improve<br />
relationship between UTM and its graduated students. In this<br />
regard, this study conducted quantitative method on the basis of<br />
analysis of the statistical data gathered from the distributed<br />
questionnaire to graduate students. The role of this CRM model<br />
is to help organization to understand a one-to-one relationship<br />
with customers and customize product and services to propose<br />
according to their values and needs.<br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />
Knowing your customers better will enable you to serve<br />
them better and keep them loyal forever. This is the main<br />
theme of <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Relationship</strong> <strong>Management</strong> (CRM) that has<br />
been investigated by many researchers [1-9].Educational<br />
institutions also realized the importance of their operations<br />
and interactions with their customers who include students,<br />
alumni, donors, faculty members, and staff members [10].<br />
Higher education customers are requesting more attention<br />
from the service provided by the Information Communication<br />
Technology (ICT). ICT in this field can play an important role<br />
especially for customer satisfaction in higher education<br />
institutions. Because of this need, many institutions are taking<br />
this opportunity to use technology in achieving their<br />
objectives. One of the most popular strategies that has been<br />
accepted and confirmed by researchers and many<br />
organizations is, <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Relationship</strong> <strong>Management</strong> (CRM).<br />
CRM helps in automating and improving process, and<br />
contributing towards the management of customer<br />
relationships in the area of recruitment, marketing,<br />
communication management, services and support.<br />
To ensure that the proposed model developed meets the<br />
objective of development, the developed system used the<br />
concept of <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Relationship</strong> <strong>Management</strong> (CRM)<br />
strategy based on CRM model which has been recognized for<br />
its effectiveness in higher education. However, CRM was<br />
initially applied in the world of information technology [12].<br />
In a university such as University Technology Malaysia<br />
(UTM), satisfying its alumni is essential and one of the<br />
university targets is to continue the communication with them<br />
but without a suitable CRM strategy, it may not be possible.<br />
The approach to CRM concepts will be discussed further in<br />
the literature review.<br />
The emphasis of this research is on the proposed model of<br />
the strategy of <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Relationship</strong> <strong>Management</strong> (CRM) in<br />
the higher education field. The model will act as an agent of<br />
the supplier, storage, transmission and contain a variety of<br />
current information on its database systems to support<br />
potential more effective customer service delivery. The model<br />
will also improve the communication and interaction system<br />
in the process of establishing a friendly relationship, and<br />
address the concerns with regards to the knowledge about<br />
rights and responsibilities between the customer and<br />
university.<br />
II. PROBLEM STATEMENT<br />
By looking back at the background of problem, the<br />
researcher believes that university is forced to stay relevant in<br />
this competitive era by having a customer-orientated strategy<br />
that concentrates on building effective and enduring<br />
relationships with the local and international UTM Alumni.<br />
Not surprisingly, Information and Communication<br />
Technology (ICT) has a vital responsibility here. For this<br />
reason, studying the field of information technology and<br />

management as well as the novelty of this area inspired the<br />
researcher to dissect this problem and look at it from the ICT<br />
position within the framework of business. Thus, the main<br />
the overall goals. The overall goal of this pyramid is to<br />
achieve customer satisfaction which will render a competitive<br />
advantage for an organization. Consequently, to improve<br />
problem identified was<br />
"How <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Relationship</strong><br />
relationship between a customer and an organization, reaching<br />
<strong>Management</strong> <strong>Model</strong> can be cultivated in assisting Alumni<br />
Liaison Unit for improving relationship with UTM Alumni’’<br />
III. CUSTOMER<br />
The C in CRM stands for customer. The critical key is<br />
customer in CRM and this is especially necessary for service<br />
providing organizations such as the Alumni Liaison Unit.<br />
Nowadays, there are various terms used for customers, such as<br />
clients, users, s, purchasers, patrons, associates, subscribers and<br />
members. The important tip is that it should be according to<br />
nature of the organization and the nature of these names is<br />
varied. The issues at hand are: what is actually a customer<br />
Why is customer satisfaction action important to an organization<br />
Gaining insights about Alumni Liaison Unit and studying the<br />
responses of UTM Alumni responds are essentials questions.<br />
the pinnacle of this pyramid (customer satisfaction) is<br />
essential as there should be a good combination of elements of<br />
customer satisfaction related to <strong>Customer</strong> <strong>Relationship</strong><br />
<strong>Management</strong> (CRM).<br />
IV. THREE CRM PROCESS MODELS<br />
REVIEWS<br />
There is no precise definition for a <strong>Customer</strong><br />
<strong>Relationship</strong> <strong>Management</strong> strategy. Hence each corporation<br />
can have a specific meaning by its utilization of CRM towards<br />
particular goals. In Table 1 there are three different CRM<br />
process models which have been compared according to<br />
author and their understanding before selecting the most<br />
suitable of ones to be adapted d and enhanced based on the case<br />
study requirements.<br />
V. CASE STUDY APPROACH<br />
A. <strong>Customer</strong> Satisfaction<br />
Suitable CRM tools provide an easier mode for customers<br />
UTM Alumni Liaison Unit was chosen as case study in<br />
to do business with an organization through flexibility of self-<br />
order to find out relevant market segmentation or UTM<br />
service, ability to get what they need faster or getting target<br />
Alumni’s segmentation and also elements of UTM Alumni<br />
information that is immediately appropriate. Highly satisfied satisfaction for a good <strong>Customer</strong> relationship management<br />
customers tend to purchase more, cost less for the service, less<br />
(CRM) strategy implementation. The researcher has chosen<br />
price-sensitive and are glad to disseminate the global about the<br />
UTM Alumni Liaison Unit as the case for the preseason that:<br />

for researcher, which is operational framework. This<br />
the aforementioned discussion has been enhanced by [11] as<br />
framework was run for implementing the whole steps taking<br />
in Figure 1.<br />
throughout this research project. Finally the conceptual<br />
framework which includes stages and information that is<br />
necessary to achieve the CRM strategy process.<br />
D. Operational Framework<br />
The operational framework has been provided containing<br />
each of the steps with clear explanation in how accomplish<br />

then write down the answers. One of the ways in which<br />
questionnaire can be administered is the emailed questionnaire;<br />
the most common approach to collecting information is to<br />
send the questionnaire to prospective respondents by email.<br />
Obviously, this approach presupposes that you have access to<br />
their addresses. Questionnaire contained series of questions<br />
which delivered to number of respondents. In this study, 100<br />
questionnaires have been distributed to UTM Alumni. 60 of<br />
the questionnaires were returned to the researcher while other<br />
is still pending to be returned. The aim of these questionnaires<br />
is to understand their perception and potential needs towards<br />
Alumni Liaison Unit. Another purpose is to find out the<br />
current and prospective relationship between alumni and UTM,<br />
and find satisfaction of the service (include ALU information<br />
on the website, ALU medium of communication and ALU<br />
interaction with members) that is provided by UTM to alumni.<br />
questionnaires were returned back to the researcher while<br />
others did not respond. Among the respondents (61.7%), were<br />
international alumni, while the rest meaning that (38.3%),<br />
were local alumni. Table 2, shows the detail of this survey.<br />

with the post, while the minority of the respondents (8.33%)<br />
suggested call center as the medium of communication for<br />
Alumni Liaison Unit. By observing the result of this<br />
questionnaire the researcher can conclude that Alumni Liaison<br />
Unit for improving the relationship with its members and<br />

VII. MODEL DESIGN<br />
The model designed bases on CRM lifecycle as illustrated<br />
in Figure 1 which adapted from [11]. The model which<br />
consists of four phases, further enhanced with more steps and<br />
detail steps for each Phase; as it can be seen in Figure 2, Phase<br />
1 is to identify the alumni member’s requirements. This let<br />
alumni to feel that organization know them and betters the<br />
relationship that in between them. Phase 2 is differentiation<br />
which divided into, differentiation by value and by<br />
requirements. Phase 3 is the customization based on member’s<br />
value and requirements. Phase 4 is where organization<br />
delivers the benefit to these targeted members, is the<br />
Interaction phase. It also consists of two phases, alumni<br />
interaction by their value and by their requirements<br />
throughout the implementation of CRM strategy model.<br />
Literature review and analysis phase of research as<br />
described in Chapter two early. The model designed bases on<br />
CRM lifecycle as illustrated in Figure 1 which adapted from<br />
[11]. The model which consists of four phases, further<br />
enhanced with more steps and detail steps for each Phase; as it<br />
can be seen in Figure 2, Phase 1 is to identify the alumni<br />
member’s requirements. This let alumni to feel that<br />
organization know them and betters the relationship that in<br />
between them. Phase 2 is differentiation which divided into,<br />
differentiation by value and by requirements. Phase 3 is the<br />
customization based on member’s value and requirements.<br />
Phase 4 is where organization delivers the benefit to these<br />
targeted members, is the Interaction phase. It also consists of<br />
two phases, alumni interaction by their value and by their<br />
requirements throughout the implementation of CRM strategy<br />
model.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />
there already exit a path or form of university-company<br />
collaboration. With this path and agreement in place, UTM<br />
Alumni can get easy access to organizations.<br />
Based on the constraints and challenges the researcher<br />
encountered when carrying out this thesis, the researcher<br />
seeks to recommend that the faculty or institution through its<br />
Research and Development unit liaises with various<br />
companies located within the city where the institution is<br />
situated. So that will be easy for UTM Alumni mainly the<br />
international alumni to get across the organizations because<br />
