What is the need for a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration?

With businesses turning their attention towards their customers and more of front office work, the intention remains providing higher value added services in order to deliver greater levels of customer satisfaction.

This calls for a CRM Solution that would help unify people, systems and processes. This results in increased productivity. This also has a better impact on business and helps build profitable relationships. Customer Relationship Management is becoming more and more strategic and the CRM Solution ought to cover almost every functional area within the organization which often calls for a possible integration with multiple other systems.

An integration between the company’s ERP and CRM Solutions will ensure that tasks otherwise handled independently by both get to be managed in cohesion.

1. Just like a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Customization helps work according to one’s convenience, a Microsoft CRM Integration ensures information is available at any point in time. It can be sought real-time from the ERP and displayed on the CRM.
2. There will be consistency in data. The company can ensure data standardization as well as process standardization. The entire business process gets organized well. Two entirely different applications get managed together.

Real-Time Integration Framework or RTIF is an option to integrate MS Dynamics CRM with other MS Dynamics ERP Solutions such as AX and NAV. This ensures information availability and data consistency between both applications and facilitates synchronous as well as asynchronous communication as well. RTIF helps manage links between corresponding records of integrated applications eventually resulting in data consistency. The end user can configure flows between applications.
