  • Patent number: 9798813
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to representing users in different contexts within customer relationship management (CRM) environments. In particular, it relates to creating a person object model for each user in the CRM environment by linking a plurality of user records in the CRM environment that is separately created by different organizations and departments. The person object model also incorporates online social identities of the users, according to one implementation. This inclusive linked model provides a comprehensive view of the users to handlers of the CRM environment, thus facilitating an enhanced overall CRM experience.
