You may or may not be familiar with Microsoft Dynamics 365, if not, then here at Blacklight Software we have created a simple yet effective de-brief on Dynamics 365 and how you can utilise this effective platform within your business.

So, what is Dynamics 365?

Dynamics 365 is a cloud-based platform providing unique and effective CRM (customer relationship management) solutions for businesses small or large. The platform offers several different business functions to ensure that solutions can be applied across all areas of your business. The business areas within Dynamics, also known as modules, include; sales, customer service and marketing. Each module offers a unique ability to modify and customise your CRM system to suit your business process and track your customer needs effectively, depending on your role.

So, how do you access Dynamics? Well, Dynamics can be deployed in two ways; on-premise or through the cloud. Utilising the cloud, Dynamics can store information and is easily accessible through a web browser. Offering a more future-proofed option for those on the move, also ruling out the need for manual updates to be applied internally – as Microsoft will do this for you.

Dynamics gets even better. It has fully customisable options with the additional feature of add-on applications, the ability to add on features your business may or may not require. The simple idea behind this is that you can start with what you need and add onto the product as your business grows, develops or as you desire.  Here at Blacklight, our creative and talented professional developers can customise your Dynamics system to make it suitable for you and your business. Some of our past Dynamics customers are Praxity, Proveca and Wandle, you can check out their case studies and what we did for them here.
