Services: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 On-premises Support Services
Being a provider of highly secure fiber-based data and voice services to enterprise and carrier customers (B2C), the client had to deal with a great deal of financial transactions every day. The provider implemented a finance system (Omnia Billing System) to handle day-to-day finances through a third party which turned to be very complicated and time-consuming.
In order to manage the Omnia Billing System, the client decided to implement Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premises internally as a comprehensive data management tool, because it is highly adaptable and productive, as well as extremely easy to use, to enable their sales team to quickly and efficiently access – and act on – crucial data and improve everyday tasks. They also customized several features in the application based on their requirement, altering the basic functionalities of Dynamics CRM.
Soon after the implementation, the client started facing issues in managing their large, and complex business data models. They realized that the system had unrealized gains that they were potentially missing out on because the application needed ongoing support. this prompted them to search for a reliable Microsoft partner with good experience in providing Dynamics CRM support and enhancement services to understand and resolve post-implementation pain areas within their system.
After analyzing and understanding the CRM system, the Synoptek Dynamics SMEs recommended migrating, propagating, and populating their complex business data to Dynamics CRM. Synoptek also identified that the client did not have proper presales, and customer handling capabilities and hence proposed a presales solution model as well.
The client also wanted to get real-time reports using data from both Dynamics CRM and Omnia billing system.
