whitepaper Property Services Firm Implements CRM Tool, Generates Return on Investment in Less Than Three Months2009-08-01 Microsoft
  Low usability of the firm's existing SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application undermined user adoption. IT managers found the inflexible system prohibitively expensive to customize to individual business units. As a result, the solution was not used and salespeople lacked visibility into the activities of other business units. This led to "Friendly-fire" incidents, whereby multiple salespeople from different groups contacted customers and prospects - much to the irritation of everyone. Managers implemented Microsoft Dynamics CRM business software as the firm's sales force automation solution. User adoption increased nine-fold while friendly-fire incidents diminished. Customer satisfaction increased, client churn decreased, and salespeople increased cross-sales revenues along with their sales closure rate.

whitepaper High-End Real Estate Company JBMRA Puts Brokers in Prime Position to Increase Sales with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Live2009-08-01 Microsoft
  JBMRA—Sperry Van Ness Institutional (JBMRA) specializes in the marketing of high-end real estate properties in the Unites States. Agents and brokers accessed the firm's Office Outlook public folders and records kept in Office Excel spreadsheets. JBMRA needed to migrate to an effective long-term CRM solution, and chose Microsoft Dynamics® CRM Live. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Live eliminated the risk of losing decentralized customer data. The firm's information is protected on Microsoft hosted servers that utilize reliable data backup processes and technologies. The application allows mobile users to access and input data on the move, something that brokers could not do previously. Moreover, brokers can immediately log notes about a client walkthrough, which another broker can later access to tailor the presentation of a property to their prospect.

whitepaper Raymond James Financial to Provide CRM Solution, Distribute Best-Practices Workflow2009-08-01 Microsoft
  Raymond James Financial employs over 3,000 financial advisors, 75 percent of whom are independent contractors. To attract and keep well-to-do clients, these advisors must apply sophisticated relationship building skills. Consequently, the use of CRM tools is ubiquitous at the firm. "As a company, we had over 2,000 discrete customer databases across heterogeneous platforms like ACT!, GoldMine, and Juncture CRM," says Shawn Tabor, Product Manager for CRM at Raymond James Financial. "Our advisors had no uniform way to document interactions with clients and we had no easy way to assist them with compliance issues or best practices processes." To meet its goals, the company chose to deploy Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM. Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides the features, flexibility, and customer detail to optimize the effectiveness of financial advisors in deepening and capitalizing on their relationships with prospects and customers.
