Boost User Buy-inEnsure that users respect in-house best practices Automate processes at minimal cost. Pivotal CRM 6.0 gives its users a relevant, ergonomic tool for minimizing the performance of some daily tasks while respecting your business processes. You have the assurance that your customer information is always consistent and complete, work is optimized, procedures simplified, training time shortened, and that customer exchanges satisfy your quality charter.

Provide a vision that is both unique and customizedTake the information where it is found. The information coming from Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Sha-rePoint integrates perfectly with the Pivotal CRM 6.0 interface to reduce duplication on different platforms, minimize risk of error and provide a simple, ergonomic and standardized user workstation. Decision making tools can thus all be pooled, users no longer need to struggle to find data - they are free to work on a unified workstation.

Grow productivityShorten the time users need to perform their tasks. Thanks to the intuitive, customizable user interface in Pivotal CRM 6.0 integrated with Outlook, SharePoint and the other products in the Microsoft Office suite, users will be able to move from one task to another with ease, and will have an instant view of everything they need. With fewer manipulations and screens, users will perform their daily tasks (agenda, contact management, emails, etc.) faster and easier while never having to leave their Pivotal CRM application.

Lower IT costs Shrink CRM development costsBuilt on the Microsoft .NET enterprise platform, Pivotal CRM 6.0 makes it easier to modify the data model, at all levels, or do other customizations – whether they involve changes to the data model, business processes or user interface. Pivotal CRM 6.0 simplifies even further the design and updating of its applications and accompanies you as you work towards the objectives established by your company so it can quickly adapt to the develop-ments in its market and the needs of its customers. That means your IT teams will spend less time on develop-

ment and more time focusing their effort on customizing your applications.

A true integration into Microsoft OfficeWe have designed Pivotal CRM 6.0 to merge with exis-ting systems, thus giving employees easy access to the applications they normally use. Users can continue wor-king with their favorite tools (such as Microsoft Outlook), and their customer information will continue to enrich their Pivotal CRM application. Pre-integration into Micro-soft SharePoint lets organizations cut their integration costs by using the Web elements of SharePoint, Micro-soft or other vendors. The integration of messaging also concerns Lotus Notes messaging.

Fast, effective installation timesSince Pivotal CRM 6.0 supports Microsoft’s ClickOnce deployment model, the new Rich Client – which asso-ciates the best features of the old Windows and Web Client – can be installed and updated on all workstations. Consequently, maintenance versions can be deployed centrally, reducing workload on the IT department.

Profitability perfectly integrated into your CRM’s information system Pivotal CRM 6.0 allows the people in charge of cus-tomizing your solution to directly integrate a function from a third party application into a Pivotal CRM model to expand your application’s capabilities and minimize costs. Since the Pivotal CRM 6.0 portal is based on Microsoft SharePoint, you can leverage SharePoint Web elements to further grow your CRM application’s capabi-lities.

Carve out a niche in constantly changing markets The flexibility of the Pivotal CRM 6.0 platform sets it apart from other CRM applications because of its ability to grow and adapt to developments in your market at a lower cost. Whatever the economic climate, develop-ments in your market or your customers’ growing needs, your competitive edge rests in your ability to respond to them quickly, easily, effectively and in a cost-effective manner. Pivotal CRM 6.0 is a particularly flexible CRM solution, and its flexibility is what will accompany you during the change: fast IT deployments and productive users who can react to your customers’ and prospects’ services.

Key Features

User interface

A familiar Microsoft type of interface with comprehensive navigation, by subject, by theme and by task, simple to use, significantly reducing training time and cost, and compliant with so-called Usability standards. Contextual information is presented based on the file opened, the data or the portal displayed, so users can work more effectively and more productively.

The Pivotal CRM portals integrate Microsoft SharePoint so data are presented to users in a familiar context. Users maintain control over their application and its daily use thanks to their custom portal. The management of both existing Microsoft Web parts (such as agendas, alerts and links) and Pivotal CRM Web parts (such as RSS flows, lists of results and outside application views) mean the portals can be fully customized to users’ specific needs.

Integration

Since Microsoft Outlook is integrated into Pivotal CRM, users can create and send Out-look emails or even perform tasks in their agenda or manage their Outlook contacts from their Pivotal CRM application. Users can search for, create and modify the contacts in their Pivotal CRM application while working in Microsoft Outlook, thus considerably optimizing exchanges with their customers and prospects.

Users enjoy all the benefits of SharePoint integration into Pivotal CRM so they can access, in their work environment, data from both third party applications and in the CRM repository.

Customization

Pivotal CRM 6.0 presents a fully customizable user interface with tab-based browsing. Companies are then able to build portals tailored to the needs of each user group or corpo-rate service by ensuring that the information and tasks will be one click away.

Management rules can be defined, detailed information collected from users and naviga-tion guided by task-oriented processes created to ensure that every operation is successful.

Fully customizable views provide an overview without having to consult several screens.

The integrated Microsoft Visual Studio Forms Designer tool can produce a true WYSIWYG design, use drag and drop for manipulating form elements and enable dynamic formatting.

.NET and Web developments that invoke third party functions can be placed in one of the form’s controls, thus allowing users to access key functions of third party applications while they continue to work in Pivotal CRM.

Deployment

Pivotal CRM 6.0 is compatible with Microsoft ClickOnce, making the deployment of an application based on Windows forms as simple and scalable as that of a simple Web appli-cation.
