Hilton Hotels, one of the biggest worldwide corporations in the hospitality industry, adopted a Customer Really Matter (CRM) strategy to manage its diverse segments of hotels and to improve customer experience. The cornerstone of the CRM, the custom-built OnQ information system, built profiles of the guests, which could be used by the front desk employees and the reservations center to better serve the customers.

For example, the development of new types of technology to be used in medical care. New techniques may be more effective or have fewer side effects, but may be too expensive to justify replacing the current standard of care. In addition to the monetary cost there may also be negative outcomes that may pose a threat to health of our society. There has to be a balance, for the new technology to be successful. An ideal new innovative technology, is safer, cheaper, faster, and easier to maintain than the old technology being replaced.
