Microsoft CRM 2011 – raising the bar on CRM

There has been a big buzz in the technology industry about the launch of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. The software giants have taken great steps to improve the sales and marketing tool and along with the introduction of cloud hosting they have really taken the pain and cost out of using a dedicated CRM solution.

What is it?

Put simply, Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a multi-lingual Customer Relationship Management software package. Out of the box, the product focuses mainly on Sales, Marketing and Service (help desk) sectors, but Microsoft has been marketing Dynamics CRM as an XRM platform and has been encouraging partners to use its proprietary (.NET based) framework to customize it to meet many different demands.
For further information have a look at the Microsoft Dynamics CRM website (http://crm.dynamics.com/en-gb/)

What can I use it for?

• Sales
• Improve your sales planning and management
• Automate your lead system
• Streamline account management
• Marketing
• Manage your data effectively
• Pinpoint your marketing efforts
• Extend value with Microsoft Office
• Customer Service
• Enhance customer service with insightful, actionable intelligence
• Simplify contract management
• Get the right information at the right time

What does it cost? 

Due to the power of cloud hosting you can experience the full potential of Microsoft Dynamics CRM for as little as £22.75* a month per user. The cloud takes away any server and bandwidth costs associated with similar packages. Microsoft will even let you experience a 30-day free trial!
You also have a dedicated community of developers and users that can help with any questions you may have. No need for a costly phone call to Microsoft support!
