Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions are data-driven, integrated platforms designed for managing and maintaining a company’s relationships and interactions with active and potential customers.
For smaller companies that are getting by using ad hoc processes, a reliable CRM solution can help them improve productivity by streamlining the administrative procedures in their sales, marketing and customer service departments. This enables them to focus on maintaining and improving customer relationships and boosting profitability.
For larger companies, who are having difficulties in tracking leads from sale to invoice, an all-embracing CRM solution will ensure that all their relevant departments are regularly updated with all related files and procedures, ensuring a smooth transaction process.
Choosing an efficient CRM solution that will suit your company’s needs, regardless of how big or small, can be a challenge. Here are eight good reasons for choosing Microsoft Dynamics 365 as your CRM solution.
8 Key Benefits of Using Microsoft Dynamics 365

-
Consolidated Overview of Customers
You get a comprehensive overview of all your existing and potential customers. Dynamics 365 will consolidate the files, notes, calls, emails, and documents related to individual clients in a centralized CRM database, which can be shared with all parties concerned.
-
Simplified Approach to Saving Files
The platform streamlines the file saving process. With all your files stored in a common data platform, they are easier to manage and share, enabling you to focus on maintaining and improving your client relationships.
-
Out-of-the-Box Integration and Collaboration
The platform’s Customer Service Adapter is an out-of-the-box solution that simplifies integration with other apps and data sources, like email databases and other cloud services. This shareable pool of information enables different departments to collaborate more efficiently.
-
Actionable Business Insights
The Dynamics 365 real-time reporting feature uses embedded AI capabilities and Power BI visualizations on your data to deliver actionable insights, enabling you to make better-informed decisions to boost profitability.

Two-Way Data Flow with API
The application programming interface (API) supports two-way data flow, feeding into or out of Dynamics 365 or other software solutions that support it. For example, you can have an action where Dynamics 365 sends an API call to a Zendesk to transfer data or vice versa.
