Microsoft Dynamics Updates 2014
Thursday April 17, 2014
Microsoft Dynamics is a line of software applications that fall into two different categories that are designed to run on computers with the Microsoft Windows operating system. The first category is called enterprise resource planning, which is often referred to as ERP for short. The second category involves customer relationship management, which is often abbreviated as CRM for short. These applications are traditionally delivered not directly from Microsoft to customers but through a collection of reselling partners
Customer relationship management is a type of process that allows businesses to connect with their customers in ways they may have never thought possible. It also allows information to be easily shared from one section of a company to another. If the customer service desk at a company is contact by a customer and receives important information about how a product or service can be better developed, the appropriate section of the company can easily access that information through the unified database created by a powerful CRM deployment.
As it does with most of its software and various applications, Microsoft has announced a wide variety of different updates to theMicrosoft Dynamics suite to be released in 2014. These product updates and developments will see staggered releases throughout the year. They are designed to expand the core customer relationship management feature set and include new functions like marketing on multiple channels, social listening, enterprise service desk capabilities and more.
