Microsoft Dynamics CRM Implementation

ScienceSoft started its journey into the world of Dynamics CRM in 2008 and has put a lot of effort in unraveling business benefits it offers. We develop Microsoft Dynamics CRM solutions that optimize sales processes, allow for personalization in multichannel marketing campaigns and streamline customer support. Now, we are ready to walk you through the robust functionality the applications of Microsoft Dynamics 365 deliver and show how we help our customers maximize their power.

The Three Pillars of Customer Relationship Management from Microsoft Dynamics 365

Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers a collection of applications that are intended to automate specific business processes. Aiming to deliver the all-embracing CRM functionality, we focus on its three key components – sales, marketing, and customer service. Microsoft Dynamics 365 covers them all with relevant solutions.

Dynamics 365 for Sales Dynamics 365 for Marketing Dynamics 365 for Customer Service

Sales transformation with Dynamics 365 for Sales

The mission of Dynamics 365 for Sales is to organize the sales process and allow sales teams to qualify leads, nurture prospects and convert them into contracts in the most effective way. Different members of the sales team use it to their advantage.

Sales reps benefit from:

Centralizing account and contact information.
Taking the full control over opportunities in the sales pipeline.
Scheduling activities and engaging with leads, prospects, and customers timely.
Using stored sales collateral.
Getting AI-driven insights based on historical sales data (e.g., the next best action suggested).

Sales managers use the Sales app as an effective tool for monitoring sales performance. The sales analytics is visualized in real-time dashboards that picture tracked KPIs. For example, managers instantly see all leads divided by sources, the progress for open opportunities, sales goals for their department, and many more. Sales managers can customize analytics by adding new dashboards when needed. This transparency of sales processes translates into informed strategic decision-making.

Besides, the Sales app facilitates onboarding of new team members. Since all the sales information is stored in one place, newbies can successfully join the sales process at any stage.

Marketing transformation with Dynamics 365 for Marketing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 comes with dedicated marketing functionality. Basically, it offers two options:

1. Dynamics 365 for Marketing is a Microsoft native marketing app that can be used separately or together with other Microsoft solutions. Marketers can start with creating a comprehensive customer profile, engage segmentation of customers for a targeted approach, and communicate with their audience via a variety of channels (email, social media, etc.). Additionally, the Marketing app does a good job for your sales team by automatically generating leads from marketing pages and scoring them based on set criteria.

2. Microsoft-Adobe partnership allows for the seamless integration of Adobe’s native product – Adobe Marketing Cloud – and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales. Real-time customer data (including personal details, purchase history, responses to marketing activities, and more) gets centralized forming a 360-degree view of each customer. With that, companies align sales and marketing activities, and can instantly monitor the interaction of customers and engage with them efficiently.

Customer service transformation with Dynamics 365 for Customer Service

With Dynamics 365 for Customer Service, your company manages cases and deals with customers’ queries efficiently. The app routes a case to a service agent who has access to customer data, their interactions with the company and all related records of the current case. This gives service agents all the cards to deliver fast and personalized support.

With knowledge management available out-of-the-box in the Customer Service app, you can also give your customers a self-service alternative to settle issues – a searchable knowledge base. Drawing on the past experience of interacting with customers, your service team can create articles with solutions to common issues, share product documentation, prepare answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), and more to publish on the website.

A Variety of Deployment Models Is Available

Microsoft offers three deployment options for Dynamics 365 to cover the demands of various companies.

	With cloud Dynamics 365, Microsoft hosts the application (-s) and stores your CRM data on their servers. For you, this means that Microsoft has the primary responsibility in maintaining the security of software, updating it regularly and backing up the data.
	Alternatively, you may opt for on-premises deployment due to the lowest long-term cost of ownership and full control over sensitive data management and maintenance. The need for a higher level of IT expertise and hardware is on the flip side of the coin.
	As the name implies, hybrid deployment combines the two above options. The data is stored in your database, but it is also fully integrated with the Microsoft cloud. In such a way, you are responsible for its security and along with that have access to cloud-based services. A hybrid variant may become an optimal choice for companies that already have Dynamics deployed on-premises and now want to add functionality available in the cloud (for example, Dynamics 365 for Talent Management is only available in the cloud).

How Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps

How Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps:

B2B transactional sales

Specifics:

A medium client base and a larger value of transactions if compared to B2C sales.

How Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps

How Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps:

Given that stakes are bigger and the number of potential clients remains high, companies involved in B2B sales need to fine-tune their sales process so that sales reps can work effectively with each lead. When Dynamics CRM is integrated with other enterprise and third-party systems the company uses, it automatically gathers customer data, processes it and provides useful insights. Instead of manually forming a profile and a purchase history for each customer, sales reps can focus on the sales process – qualify leads accurately and increase opportunity conversion rates.

Record creation and update rules allow initiating sales activities automatically from customers’ actions. For example, the system can create a lead from a single social activity. Sales reps will continue with nurturing the lead further on.

B2B complex sales

Specifics:

A small-to-medium client base, a long sales cycle, multiple decision-makers.

How Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps

How Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps:

This is a sales type where customer relationship steps forward. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, sales reps can effectively nurture multiple stakeholders understanding the role of each one in the decision-making process. When working with prospects, they add not only contact information or proposal details in a CRM profile but can note down prospects’ individualities, likes or preferences to personalize further communication with them. As far as B2B complex sales focus on developing long-lasting cooperation with customers, these records and the interaction history can help a lot to maintain the high level of communication in the future.

Sales reps can schedule activities in the CRM and get automatic reminders to engage with prospects timely. Thus, with seemingly small steps, they build a trustworthy company reputation and lay the foundation for long-term fruitful cooperation.
