Why Choose Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online?

Why is Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online the best customer relationship management solution in the best implementation model available today?

It’s the best solution because:

  • It has an enterprise-level business focus, concentrating on those critical business areas where the building of good customer relationships is essential: Sales, Service, and Marketing.
  • It has a familiar look and feel that increases user adoption rates, and it has native integration with the Microsoft Office productivity applications you already know—Outlook, Word, and Excel.
  • It comes with built-in configuration and customization capabilities that allow it initially to fit your current way of doing things and then continue to grow and change along with your business.
  • It has automation features like queues and workflows for automating the steps of your daily business routines, increasing your workforce efficiency, and reducing errors and omissions.
  • It can be accessed in a number of convenient ways: directly within Microsoft Office Outlook, from anywhere using a secure web browser, or via mobile client.
  • It will continue to improve. Microsoft is committed to supporting and incorporating the huge third-party development community growing alongside Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

It’s the best model because:

  • It resides "in the cloud", so it requires no server hardware purchase or maintenance on the customer's part, and it’s as easy to access as any internet connection.
  • It's dependable. It's hosted by the same company that designed and created it, and comes with a 99.9% uptime Service Level Agreement.
  • It's externally secure. Access is controlled through Windows Live ID.
  • It's internally secure. Configurable Business Units and User Roles control the segregation or sharing of resources such as Leads and Customers within or between your company's internal departments.
  • It’s low-risk. As few as five seats can be licensed, and more users can be scaled in after your initial group adopts the solution and sees the value.
