The fundamental business needs that drive the requirement for effective and efficient customer management practices remain unchanged: acquiring new customers, building tighter bonds of loyalty, and reducing the costs of marketing, selling, and servicing. As a consequence, interest in investing in and deploying solutions to improve customer-facing business processes remains strong. Indeed, 55 percent of the 455 large organizations that Forrester surveyed in late 2010 in North America and Europe have already implemented a customer relationship management (CRM) solution-and many of these are investing more to upgrade their tool set. An additional 19 percent have plans to buy a CRM solution for the first time within the next 12 to 24 months.1 The pattern for midsize organizations is similar. CRM solutions are widely deployed, and interest in expanding their use is high. However, given the continuing uncertainty in the current economic climate, organizations are looking for flexible and extensible solutions that provide the functionality required at the best value. Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 2011 business software is a solution designed to boost the personal and team productivity of customer-facing workers by offering a full set of functionality with a familiar desktop user interface (UI) through integration with the Microsoft® Outlook® messaging and collaboration client. The product offers deployment flexibility through being available in two versions: a traditional perpetual license, on-premises solution; and a software-as-aservice (SaaS) subscription service version. The solution enables more efficient business processes and improves team and personal productivity.
