The CRM solutions and capabilities within Microsoft Dynamics® connect closely to other Microsoft technologies that you may already use.

Managers can use business data to assess the value of customer relationships for your organization and make them more productive.

When your employees use the CRM functionalities of Microsoft Dynamics®, they work within a familiar Microsoft® software environment. This helps reduce distractions of having to learn and work with disparate software tools. For example, you can access customer and business information and manage customer communications through your e-mail program. Or you can analyze data and create reports in your spreadsheet application.

Microsoft Dynamics® solutions are typically implemented for you by a Microsoft® partner with the right industry and technical expertise.
