Anything you can do in a browser, you can do on mobile. Approve an invoice from the dinner table or input customer data onsite – all the tools you need are available on your mobile device.

Powerful Customer Personalization and Extension

It’s no secret that across all industries, personalization has emerged as a baseline requirement of any customer-facing initiative. The trend toward personalization isn’t limited to customer engagement – today’s ERP solutions must allow for personalization in your financial and supply chain management solutions as well.

Seamless Connectivity with All Microsoft Products

With Microsoft, your business can run all operations on a single connected platform. Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Finance & Supply Chain Management (formerly known as CRM and ERP, respectively), Office, Teams, and Power Platform all work together in the Dataverse.

This means all business communications – from interoffice to customer-facing – are in the same universal language and use a shared database. That may not seem like a huge deal, but imagine a few scenarios that make life simply easier:

Creating a sales order in Customer Engagement and having it accessible instantaneously in ERP
Writing a customer record in Dynamics 365 Customer Service and having it automatically available not just to the rest of your CE suite but also to all your back-office technologies
What it means for you:

You don’t live just within your ERP, so having a flexible platform is essential. Microsoft is the most integrative solution in the world, providing easy integration and information sharing. By giving multiple applications access to the same database, information is no longer siloed and duplicated work can be eliminated, which makes work easier for everyone.
