Donated Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 For Not-For-Profits

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 (Includes Software Assurance)

Description: 

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 is a customer relationship management (CRM) server application designed to run on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or Microsoft Windows Small Business Server in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server. Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides users with a shared database of customer records and communications, ensuring that all departments have access to up-to-date customer information, as well as a unified system for scheduling contact with customers and other CRM duties.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 is one of two editions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011:

  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM Workgroup Server 2011 includes licences for a maximum of five users to access the server from any number of computers or other devices.
  • Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 supports multiple, distinct customer relationship management databases on a single server and has no user limit.

Users can access and work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM customer records and reports through a Microsoft Outlook toolbar or by using Microsoft Internet Explorer to access a customised, internal website. Reports are available with on-demand, scheduled, or event-based delivery, and can be generated by users without IT assistance.

Users can integrate contacts, emails, tasks, appointments, or Microsoft OneNote notes with the appropriate customer records; track email correspondence; and schedule and automate tasks such as customer contacts. Replies to tracked emails are automatically tracked as well, allowing users to quickly see all pertinent correspondence with or about a customer. Contact can be assigned for customers personally or in groups; and can be scheduled individually, recurrently, or as triggered by other events.

Both the web and Microsoft Outlook interfaces are highly customisable. Access rights and interface settings can be set at all levels and departments so that personnel can access records in an appropriate and intuitive form.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports Microsoft SQL Server Mirroring, which ensures that a backup copy of the database is consistently available in case of damaged files.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 also includes the following capabilities:

  • The improved offline user experience in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 allows for offline reporting and customisation, with automatic synchronisation when an Internet connection becomes available.
  • Multi-tenant architecture lets organisations maintain multiple, distinct customer relationship management databases on a single server.
  • Customer relationship management data and reports can be exported in Microsoft Excel format. After making edits to CRM information in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the user is given the option to re-import edited information back into the CRM database, thus allowing CRM data to be altered and recalibrated using the familiar tools and functions available through Microsoft Excel.
  • The highly flexible structure lets developers add components using the .NET framework.
  • Users can customise the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 dashboard, selecting what data appears on it and from which sources.

Also available as part of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 range
