Microsoft Crm For Outlook

broken image


Rather than creating a platform that works alongside Microsoft Outlook, Avidian has built an application that helps Outlook function more like a proper CRM. For example, Prophet CRM allows users to create sales force automation workflows within the Outlook program, so users can set up repeatable tasks that are triggered at the proper time. Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Outlook synchronizes email messages, contacts, tasks, and appointments between Outlook and Dynamics 365. While providing full CRM functionality and a few useful options, such as adding contacts and activities to CRM, it is not free of certain issues, any of which can have an adverse impact on the company’s business.
