The evolution of business productivity with Dynamics 365 CRM

CRM systems like Microsoft Dynamics 365 are known to help businesses streamline their business data and further analyze it to gain insights into their business performance to improve sales, service and marketing.

Businesses around the world have utilized the power of Dynamics 365 to transform and grow their business all while maintaining customer relationships and satisfaction.

However, this was not the case a few decades back.

Business productivity in the pre-internet era

Before the introduction of the internet, a business heavily relied on standalone mainframe systems to store their customer data. This was an expensive affair and due to the technological limitations at the time, was very limited and only available to major corporations.

Also, it was highly inefficient as the employees were dependent on others to provide any needed information about the customer or prospect and that had a dramatic effect on the productivity of the organization and the overall customer satisfaction.

Businesses relied on standalone systems to gather and manage their business data, and these systems were not reliable enough and not accessible widely by the employees, further widening the communication gap and increasing the dependency on employees.

All of this translated into poor customer experience and businesses lost a considerable amount of opportunities further limiting their growth in the long term.

The internet-fueled productivity and growth boost 

As the internet boomed, it paved the way for the development of allied technologies, and eventually, it all led to the creation of CRM systems that was easy to use and accessible by large and mid-sized businesses.

The internet fueled the productivity of organizations and provided a boost to their growth.

As the internet developed further, it allowed these CRM systems to move to the cloud and that eventually made it more accessible to a broader employee base and small organizations.

The move to cloud allowed small and mid-sized businesses to compete with the larger corporations and made the overall customer experience better.

Customers now had a choice to choose from a plethora of products and services from all size of organizations and this competition further improved the overall quality of the products and services.
