Microsoft Business Solutions CRM helps
businesses build profitable customer relationships. Integrated Sales
and Customer Service modules enable employees to share information
to improve sales success and deliver consistent, efficient customer
service. Sales and customer service features include leads and
opportunity management, a complete view of customer history,
automated incident management, and a searchable knowledgebase.
Microsoft CRM also includes reporting tools for accurate forecasting
and measurement of business activity and employee performance. Built
using Microsoft .NET–connected technologies, Microsoft CRM is easy
to deploy, customize, and use, accessible from Microsoft Outlook®
and the Web, integrates with other business applications, and scales
as your business grows.

the following demonstrations of the Microsoft CRM Solution:
The MFG/PRO to MS CRM Data Bridge helps
organizations reduce data errors, save time from duplicate data
entry, and keep sales teams and service department current with
information. The Data Bridge is a bi-directional integration tool
that synchronizes data between the accounts, inventory items, and
transactional data such as orders, quotes, and invoices between the
systems.
Utilizing Microsoft's .NET architecture along with
ISS Group's existing MFG/PRO API Sets, data integration is provided
through Web Services and XML Integration.
If a CRM solution is too hard to learn, your sales
and service forces simply will not use it. In fact, in a recent
study by AMR Research (CRM: Pain or Profit?), 47 percent of surveyed
companies reported serious challenges with end-user adoption, often
putting deployment in jeopardy.

Microsoft CRM
provides your employees with an intuitive interface tightly
integrated with applications they probably already know. Sales and
service representatives can work from within Microsoft Outlook to
access comprehensive customer or incident histories, view product
and sales literature, track customer related tasks and appointments,
and manage contacts.
Microsoft CRM works seamlessly with Outlook,
a user can quickly take a
received e-mail from a prospect, promote the e-mail to a customer
record, and use pre-configured workflow rules to schedule future
interactions with this prospect. All without ever leaving the Outlook
interface.
And once a representative associates an Outlook
contact with an account, a 360-degree view of that customer becomes
available.
Any future interaction-whether it be an e-mail,
fax, appointment, or other activity-is automatically added to the
history.
Microsoft CRM works with the latest Microsoft
operating systems and servers, including Microsoft Windows® Small
Business Server 2003 Premium Edition. It also operates seamlessly
with familiar applications like Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word,
so your sales and service forces can get the most out of their
customer interactions without having to spend time learning new
applications.
With more than 100 standard reports available to
examine sales, service, and administrative processes, organizations
can make informed business decisions as a direct result of their
Microsoft CRM investment.
