Editor's Notes

  1. Business in 1960’s…Time to relaxCocktails in the afternoonA mini bar in your officeDinner parties every nightNo internet or FacebookThe most complex piece of technology you had to use was a typewriter
  2. Overview: Manage all your emails, meetings, contacts, and customer information in one place with the native Microsoft Outlook client.Detail:For nearly 500 million information workers, Microsoft Office Outlook is the primary productivity tool that they use on a daily basis. And by integrating Customer Relationship Management capabilities directly into Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Dynamics CRM minimizes busy work and puts the right information in your sales, service and marketing professionals’ hands. And while Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 provided a rich Outlook experience, 2011 provides a true native Outlook experience by taking advantage of the new capabilities in Outlook 2010. And with 2011, Outlook is no longer a plug-in, it is a true native Outlook experience. CRM is Outlook.A great example of that is preview pane capability that allows users to see a preview of not just emails but also a preview of CRM records. This feature saves users from having to open each individual record to see the contents . Another examples is the ability to set-up Outlook reminders/follow-ups on CRM records. Once again a great tool for users to improve their productivity from a tool they most likely use every day. Another key enhancement of the Next-Gen Outlook Client is the advanced personalization capabilities . Users can instantly personalize the interface by selecting what fields they want to show in what order right within the product. In essence they can create personal views. And you can see an example of that in the above screen shot that shows a “My Pipeline” and “Won Opportunities” view. A great example of making information more relevant and personal.
  3. Overview: Use personal views, record pinning, and most recently used lists to tailor the navigation to your users’ needs and make sure they have the information they need.Detail: At the end of the day, time is money. And in today’s ultra-competitive environment, staff need quick and accurate access to information. Unfortunately in many organizations, staff spend too much time looking for information, for records, for data. And with the Enhanced Navigation capabilities in 2011, Microsoft Dynamic CRM specifically addresses that issue. This is why these capabilities are critical to increasing the productivity of your people. For example, a sales rep. may remember the name of a customer but can’t remember if it was an lead, account or opportunity record. With the most recently used list, the sales rep. doesn’t have to search for it since he/she can instantly see that record and open it with just a click. Or a call center agent may have a knowledge base article he/she uses for a frequently reported problem. If that agent pins the KB article using the Record Pinning capability, he/she can then open it with just a click as opposed to having to go to “Service,” “Knowledge Articles,” “KB Article” which require many more clicks and windows. Both of these examples are saving the user clicks, windows, and ultimately time. Another time saver is the real-time record filtering capability that allows user to change the order, size and display of fields on the fly. Very similar to what users can do in Excel. By allowing your people to personalize their data they can more quickly get the information they need, save time looking for information and be more productive.
  4. Overview: Foster greater collaboration and improve work state management with comprehensive queues.Detail: In today’s environment, organizations are judged on operational efficiency. A key element of operational efficiency is work state management—in essence, making sure work streams are efficient and streamlined. First-in, first-out (FIFO), or queue management is a mainstay of any process-centric organization. Now in 2011, organizations can create a queue against any entity in the database, they can create individual or team queues, and they can lock-down actions in queues. For example, a team of telemarketers might receive leads from the web via a queue, and high potential leads might be placed in a “qualified leads” queue that are routed directly to individual sales professionals. Or a customer service department could create a streamlined escalation queue for VIP customers to ensure their problems are resolved rapidly.Using this Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 capability organizations can manage, document and optimize their work streams.
  5. Overview: Automate tasks, ensure consistent follow-up, and enable greater synergy across the organization with guided processes.Detail: To drive operational efficiency and excellence, organizations need predictable, consistent and repeatable process. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 provides organizations with the ability to easily create and re-use guided processes with a feature called Dialogs. Dialogs allows organizations to easily create “screens” that enable the user to prompt the prospect/customer for specific information. While some may view this feature as call scripting, it can do that and much more. For example, dialogs can prompt a user for required data that is frequently overlooked. Or a dialog can query data in Microsoft Dynamics CRM and then use that data as part of the question and answer process. Or the dialog can automatically update data in Microsoft Dynamics CRM based on data provided by the customer. Additionally, hyperlinks, tips and queues can be embedded in dialogs. Additionally, Dialogs support both dynamic and static response types as well as the ability to define variables which in turn provides organizations with a great deal of flexibility.A typical usage example would be in customer service. A Customer Service organization could use guided dialogs to automate the problem resolution process and actually guide the question and answer exchange. Agents could use dialogs to funnel commonly asked questions or issues into a common resolution or answer. Sales and marketing organizations could also use it to create a structured lead qualification process. It is also worth calling out that the Dialog feature is based on version 4.0 of the Windows Workflow Engine that is part of Microsoft’s .NET Framework, meaning that your custom processes integrate and work well with Microsoft’s application development frameworks and tools.
  6. Overview: Better identify and leverage business connections with the Connections feature.Details: Businesses today need to maximize the value of their relationships. But today’s complicated business world is no longer just about customer relationships and traditional roles it is about managing a wide variety of relationships and roles that are relevant to the business. With the Connections feature, organizations can quickly and easily track any business relationship. Organizations can connect any entity not just leads, contacts and accounts. With this feature, organizations can easily define and set-up any relationship they want to track, assign attributes to it, and then associate individuals to that relationship. For example, a sales person, in addition to working directly with key decision makers, might need to interact with the IT department, operations staff, in-house legal staff, procurement specialists as well as others. By tracking and leveraging all relationships Connections allows organizations to take relationship management to the next level.
  7. Overview: Instantly set up and automatically track key business goals such as lead conversion, sales quotas, first call resolution rates and many morewith the goal management feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.Detail: Organizations are judged on their ability to achieve their goals. With the new and comprehensive goal management feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, organizations can easily define, set-up, track, and visualize attainment of business goals. The new goal management feature provides a lot of flexibility in goal creation. Organization can set up fiscal or custom time period goals, they can create amount, count or stretch goals. Additionally, the goals provided hierarchal capabilities that allow organizations to create individual, team or roll-up goals. Certainly something that is very important for most sales organizations who need to track both individual as well as territory and organizational sales goals. Let’s look a couple of usage examples. With this feature, a call center can track first call resolution rates, average call time, average resolution time, and other key operational metrics. Or a sales organization can use the goal management capability to track sales quota and attainment of those sales quotas. And since this feature streamlines the whole goal management process, organizations can keep their pulse on key metrics and take proactive measures when needed. Organizations that spend less time setting up and managing goals and can then spend more time on activities that help them meet and exceed those goals.
  8. Overview: Better server your customers with flexible activities and appointments. Detail: In previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, users were limited to a pre-defined list of values for activities. That meant if a organization wanted to track activities that weren’t part of the pre-defined list, significant customization was required. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, those limitations have been removed and now users can create any custom activity and track all related aspects of that custom activity. This means users can add new tasks, assign resources, create resource groups, execute workflows, and in general track any activity from beginning to close without any customization or complex custom coding. An example of a custom activity could be “Onsite Repair” for field service organizations that frequently send service staff to customer sites for mechanical or machines repairs. Users also can now leverage the new bulk actions support and complete, cancel or change “Set Regarding” in activities in masse rather than having to open up each activity manually. A huge time saver for organizations that handle a large volume of activities. Lastly, another huge improvement in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 is the support for recurring appointments which was a big request from both customers and partners. And something that is critical for service organizations that provide scheduled services.

  12. Overview: With role based forms and views, Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides an customizable interface that can be tailored to support the job functions of many different roles.Detail: One of the most effective ways to improve the fit of business applications is to ensure that the software is tailored and optimized for specific roles. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, organizations can create forms specific to each individual role that tailor the presentation of the information that is displayed on that form. And with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, creating role-based forms is easy and straightforward using the drag and drop customization capabilities of the software. For example, a customer service agent, a customer service manager, and VP of Customer Service all need different levels of detail regarding cases, customers and contacts. Role based forms are also very useful from an industry perspective since organizations can create industry-focused forms that present industry focused data. With role-tailored forms and views, organizations can help their people quickly connect with the most important information for them.
  13. Overview: Track key performance indicators (KPIs) and make more informed decisions with real-time dashboards.Detail: Dashboards are another key element of successful business management, and a critical tool for organizations to stay up-to-date on key performance metrics.In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, we are introducing a powerful range of real-time and flexible dashboard capabilities. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 includes pre-built dashboards that sales, service, and marketing organizations can use out of the box. In addition, organizations can also early create new real-time dashboards via point-and-click configuration that meet their custom requirements. For a sales organization, a real-time dashboard could show the sales pipeline, top customers, quota attainment and revenue. For a customer service organization, a real-time dashboard could show call-times, customer satisfaction levels and top customer service issues. Another great thing about the new dashboard capability in 2011 is that they are completely customizable. For example, organizations can even bring in data from outside sources like stock prices, mapping information, financial data or other external data sources. And different from some other CRM solutions (i.e. Salesforce.com) in the market, Microsoft Dynamics CRM dashboards are real-time, which helps organizations to have the most up-to-date information.
