2009-07-09T05:32:00.000-07:00

Manufacturing Organizations Can Benefit From Microsoft Dynamics CRM

In our current economy, manufacturers know that great sales, marketing and service can make or break their business. Successful manufacturers have to employ a sophisticated CRM solution that offers a comprehensive view of complex customer information and interaction, and that can integrate efficiently with legacy systems.

Manufacturers need look no further than Microsoft Dynamics CRM to best serve their customers. Below are three benefits that Microsoft Dynamics CRM can offer manufacturing organizations:

Improve Customer Experience – Customer information is accessed faster and customer questions can be addressed more efficiently when complete customer information is centralized.
Improve Productivity – Customer service representatives can be more efficient at processing customer cases with the self-service functionality. This allows the same number of service representatives to process more customer cases.
Reduce Errors – Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps eliminate manual entry of customer information, which greatly reduces errors in the customer database.

Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Service

2009-06-02T06:39:00.000-07:00

Microsoft Dynamics CRM (Gartner, Inc. April 3, 2009)As a result of the economic slowdown, business leaders are focusing on the central role of customer service to simultaneously lower costs and build customer loyalty. Because the contact center is a key touchpoint for customers at the same time that it includes the Web site, some rethinking and re-engineering are required. The combination of three factors — business slowdown, the need to include Web site interactions and the need to lower customer service costs — is shaping business leaders' decisions. It also is changing the Magic Quadrant evaluation criteria. Budget realities will have an impact on the ambitious goal of creating an integrated customer experience across channels. Corporations, governments, universities and not-for-profit agencies have made promises to their constituents (customers, citizens, students and donors/supporters, respectively); but in the midst of IT budget contractions, a tightly built case will need to be made that these enterprises will lower expenses when introducing any initiatives. Revenue generation is the better goal, yet many CIOs who have spoken with us during the past three months are doubtful that pushing revenue generation through a customer service initiative will be an easy process.

Microsoft Dynamics GP, Offered by InterDyn BMI, Ideal Accounting Solution for Growing Businesses

2009-05-26T06:35:00.000-07:00

Minneapolis, MN - May 26, 2009 - InterDyn BMI, a Microsoft Dynamics Gold Certified Partner who specializes in integrating and delivering all aspects of a client's business IT needs, is empowering the growth of small businesses with its offering of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

When first launched, many new businesses find accounting needs confidently met by small software packages. Benefits of the most popular small business accounting software packages include affordability and the ability to create invoices and track expenses.

Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting software is designed for small businesses whose invoicing and expensing needs grow. Oftentimes, this growth requires the ability to centralize accounting data from multiple departments.

"When a new business launches, centralizing financial data such as invoices and expenses is typically the least of the challenges faced," states John Hendrickson, CEO for InterDyn BMI. "Most of this data can be easily consolidated into accounting software in use by one department. As the business grows, however, the amount of accounting data to manage grows accordingly."

The key benefit of Microsoft Dynamics GP is the ability to report on and centralize large amounts of accounting data from multiple departments. As many smaller software packages do not contain multiple departmental capabilities, reporting and data management can quickly become inefficient.

Microsoft Dynamics GP, as offered by Microsoft Dynamics Partner InterDyn BMI offers growing businesses:
Data integration capabilities, automatically pulling data from each department
Robust reporting capabilities, offering full visibility into each business unit
Confident security features, providing the ability to comply with all regulations for securing business financial data

"When offering Microsoft Dynamics GP to our clients, we ensure they receive an affordable and easily scalable software solution," concludes Hendrickson. "We assuredly help today's small businesses integrate the accounting processes necessary to become tomorrow's successful corporations."

More information on Microsoft Dynamics GP may be found by visiting the website of Microsoft Dynamics Partner InterDyn BMI.

InterDyn BMI and GoIWx team up for hosted trial of Microsoft Dynamics CRM free for 30 days

2009-05-07T07:45:00.000-07:00

Minneapolis, Minnesota - May 7, 2009 - InterDyn BMI, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner who specializes in integrating and delivering all aspects of a client's business IT needs including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), e-Commerce, Systems Engineering, Business Process Consulting and Custom Application Development, recently announced a strategic partnership with GoIWX, a leader in IT hosting, Software Plus Service (S+S) and Software as a Service (SaaS).

As the next step in a partner hosted offering in the SaaS model, InterDyn BMI in conjunction with GoIWx is announcing a free Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 trial for 30 days and packaged Training for Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM.

InterDyn BMI will offer online, instructor led Microsoft Dynamics CRM training at packaged pricing. The training environment will provide base product functionality and will not be configured to client specifics.

GoIWx President and CEO, RJ Burgess sees this coordinated offering as a excellent opportunity to help SMB's to make the move to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 free for 30 days, while providing the opportunity to help the users get the hands-on training any organization needs to either bridge the gap from an older CRM program and get up to speed with new features of the software and at the same time, customers won't have to invest in the IT infrastructure new CRM implementations often require. "This makes the move to the SaaS model more attainable without the large CAP-X expenditures." says Brian Campbell, CRM Sales Manager. “With the CRM program we've just announced we believe customers have greater flexibility and get a better value with the GoIWx hosted model than with CRM Online. We achieve a greater level of flexibility in the installation and configuration.

InterDyn BMI is focuses on the sales, implementation and training for their clients to create comprehensive business solutions utilizing Microsoft Dynamics. There are several significant benefits to a program like this." Campbell continues, “This offer provides an option to get up and running on Microsoft Dynamics CRM at a low cost. This will allow the clients to recoup the investment with a faster uptime.”

For this joint endeavor, the training offering will be held online and instructor led. This venue allows for interactivity with the attendees and will provide training materials and lab exercises. The training package offer requires a minimum purchase of 3 user license and the installation of non customized or minimally configured Microsoft Dynamics CRM application in the GoIWx hosted environment.

Hosting can provide customers an "out of the box" solution which is low cost, with great training designed to fit their needs. Clients with more robust configuration can still get lower cost, with a quicker uptime, and spend CAPEX dollars on tailored training and realize more of an immediate gain. By going partner hosted, we can provide clients of varied needs, a higher return on investment.

In addition to CRM training, InterDyn BMI offers customization services, SQL Reporting services, installation and upgrades, advanced workflow training, and SharePoint installation and implementation.

New Microsoft Dynamics GP Case Study!

2009-04-09T06:23:00.000-07:00

Cooperating Community Programs works with the Microsoft Dynamics GP
Long-term HealthCare industry

Click here for the complete case study!

Since 1979, CCP (The Cooperating Community Programs) has been working with people with disabilities to create satisfying lifestyles. realizing each person has different lifestyle wants, needs and abilities, CCP provides a variety of in-home and group support services that foster independent living. CCP has over 1100 employees working in a variety of capacities to serve 700 or more clients with disabilities at any given time.

Situation:
Without sacrificing client-care, CCP wanted to find ways to trim their operating budget. With service to their clients and community at the core of their mission, CCP felt (and still feels) a financial responsibility to be good stewards of the money being spent. They knew that their first priority had to be getting an understanding of the core issues that were driving up overtime and administrative expenses.

Solution:
After a comprehensive evaluation, it was clear that Microsoft Dynamics GP financial management system with Human Resources and Payroll was a great fit for CCP because it integrated neatly with CareVoyant, the system CCP wasusing for patient-care management and medicare/medicaid processing.

Benefits:
Accurate Reporting - see complete case study for details
Cut Payroll Fees- see complete case study for details
Improved Forecasting - see complete case study for details

CCP continues to work with InterDyn BMI, to streamline their systems and processes. in the near future, the Community Cooperating programs wants to begin taking full advantage of the Microsoft Dynamics GP ’s human resource solution to manage employee’s certifications, training, and the annual reviews of mandatory requirements. The integration of this information into Microsoft Dynamics GP will reduce paperwork and provide assurance to all that employees and facilities are continually in compliance with state and federallaw.

IE8 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Compatibility

2009-03-31T06:10:00.000-07:00

March 19th, 2009- Microsoft Released released the latest version of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).

1. It is fully tested and supported. NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT COMPATIBILITY! IE8 has undergone a rigorous 12 month beta, and Dynamics CRM was one of the key "test products" for the IE team when working through their validation and tests. The IE team and CRM team worked closely together to insure that Dynamics CRM worked with IE8, and IE 8 is now an officially supported browser for Dynamics CRM 4.0.

2. Built in development tools. If you are the developer type, you probably used tools like DOMspy or the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar to identify CRM page elements, like Nav Bar links, to use in creating javascript. With IE 8, there is no more need for these tools, as the developer tools are built into the browser (under Tools menu-->Developer Tools)

3. Color coded tabs. This is a major usability enhancement for Dynamics CRM. As any user of Dynamics CRM can attest, CRM can open many IE windows. For example, when you open up an Account, a new window is launched, then if you open an activity associated with the account, another window opens. Tabbed browsing in IE 7 helped get control of these windows by allowing users to have one IE window open with multiple tabs. However, one potential problem is that if you also have some other sites open, perhaps researching a potential customer on MSN Money, the CRM windows can get lost among all of your other sites.

IE 8 solves these problems by grouping tabs from related sites together, and color coding them, so you will never mix up your CRM tabs with your Twitter tabs.
