Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 - Microsoft CRM Service Module
Microsoft CRM (customer relationship management) from Microsoft Business Solutions will
allow your organisation to offer superior customer service and increase capacity
to handle requests, without adding employees.
Microsoft CRM Customer Service helps your service representatives track customer
requests, manage support issues from initial contact through successful resolution,
and provide customers with the consistent, efficient service that ensures satisfaction
and a long relationship.
Deliver Superior Customer Service
Utilize multiple interaction channels, including phone calls, e-mail messages, in-person
communications, and self-service Web sites to quickly create, manage, and resolve service issues.
Use streamlined access to cases, customer history, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and a powerful
Knowledge Base to support customers effectively and productively. Enable customer service
representatives to create a more consistent service experience using agent scripting provided
through Windows Workflow Foundation or integrated 3rd party products.
Manage Work More Efficiently
Create a productive work environment for your customer service representatives with Microsoft
Dynamics CRM. Whether implemented through Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, within the context of
a contact center agent desktop, or as a natural extension of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Dynamics
CRM can help your business to productively manage customer incidents, service contacts, and knowledge
from a single, scalable business application. With the familiar Microsoft Dynamics CRM interface, your
business can quickly bring new service representatives up to speed while reducing training costs.
Automate Service Processes
Assign, manage, and resolve support incidents with automated routing, queuing, and escalation of
service requests, along with case management, communications tracking, and auto-response e-mail. Use
Windows Workflow Foundation to create and execute robust service processes that span the customer
service organization. For enterprises seeking to make service a core competency of their organization,
Microsoft Dynamics CRM can extend throughout the customer value chain to include other departments or
areas of the business, as well as partner and supplier organizations.
Resolve Issues Quickly and Accurately
Improve your first-call resolution rates using a searchable, shared knowledge base of articles
organized by product and service category, as well as through integrated “Presence” information and
instant messaging. Quickly locate and communicate with subject matter experts, managers, or
supervisors using contact information that is embedded right in the CRM user experience. Utilize this
advanced capability, as well as click-to-chat and click-to-call functionality, with Microsoft Dynamics
CRM and Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 to truly differentiate the customer experience.
Gain Actionable Insight
Measure customer satisfaction during all stages of the service lifecycle either in real-time or as
part of a service reporting cycle. Use historical and predictive analytics to raise customer
satisfaction, reduce case handling times, improve first-call resolution, or drive targeted
cross-sell/up-sell offers to customers. Incorporate service analytics into product improvement
initiatives, quality measurement processes, and warranty program optimization.
Third Party Integration
Confidently build and deploy world-class Contact Centers through integration with critical contact
center infrastructure products, including leading telephony switch, automated call distribution (ACD),
and computer-telephone integration (CTI) products from Microsoft Gold Certified and Certified partners,
as well as agent scripting, offer management and workforce management, and call quality solutions.
Integration with the Microsoft Customer Care Framework
Much of the information needed to answer customer questions is scattered across applications such
as ERP, billing, and invoicing systems. This information can be surfaced through Microsoft Dynamics
CRM using the Microsoft Customer Care Framework to aggregate information from existing systems and
channels, to automate tasks, and to accelerate issue resolution. This gives customer service
representatives the ability to see all customer interaction information across multiple systems in
one place.
