Dynamics CRM

Description

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a customer relationship management program used by a variety of industries to administer their relationships with customers, including the retrieval, storage and analysis of client information. It can be tailored to fit the unique needs of each organization and provide consistent and measurable progress in all aspects of customer relations using well-known tools and technology such as Microsoft Office, Outlook and Internet Explorer.

The Dynamics CRM action is capable of automating a variety of common CRM operations in order to ensure consistency in how businesses interact with their customers. It can be used for creating, updating or deleting contacts, retrieving audit records, tracking specific information and uploading and downloading attachments. Integrating Dynamics CRM activities into a task eradicates the manual re-keying of data and greatly improves visibility and access to important information. In addition, users can better organize business processes with the use of sessions which define the steps necessary to automate specific operations or sets of actions to be performed on Dynamics CRM records.
