Which CRM do you use? Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Zoho, SAP CRM or any other? Does the tool enable you to identify new areas of improvement and explore new horizons for growth, other than maintaining the regular daily operations? Today, CRM is not confined to just managing customer information, monitoring sales, offering customer service, and analyzing data but encompasses a lot more.

Curious for more? There you are!!

Here are some of the reasons why Dynamics 365 beats its competition on all fronts.

Azure power

Today’s CRM tools have to be cloud-hosted. Among the countless advantages that cloud offers, the most significant ones include savings on data storage, easy scaling to tackle growth challenges, enhanced data security, better collaboration, and high performance. There may be the option of on-premises deployment and private hosting, but the importance of cloud can’t be overstated. Dynamics 365 uses the widely acknowledged Azure cloud as its nucleus. The advantages include ubiquitous access, enhanced data security, and mobile accessibility, among others.

Benefit: Enhanced accessibility and reduced operating costs

Flexibility

Microsoft allows businesses to manage their operations end-to-end under one roof with Dynamics 365.

Benefit: Cost advantage and the flexibility to mix and match.

Typical CRM systems require the user and the environmental process to conform to the software requirements that demand extensive coding and process changes. But with Dynamics, it’s the other way around; it comes with a wide variety of industry-standard integration protocols and ensures the seamless integration of 99.99% systems.

Benefit: A robust structure facilitating unhindered data exchange

App marketplace

An online app marketplace helps users publish apps or services and get access to new apps that precisely fit their needs and complement their existing digital tools. Although a few other competitors also have their own app repository, Dynamics 365 is in a league of its own. Microsoft offers hundreds of business tools that enhance the capability of Dynamics 365 and make it more business and customer-centric.

Benefit: Enhanced functional possibilities and added convenience

Interoperability with other Microsoft products

Benefit: Better analytics; reduced need for investing in other tools
