Applicate: Delivering Operational Agility and Seamless Integration

A telecommunications company aimed to grow its business and improve its customer service strategies alongside. Problems arose when they started facing difficulty in managing their Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 application, which had been deployed by a previous vendor. They deduced that due to a system design flaw that took a toll on the performance and reliability, the installation did not meet the company’s requirements. In implementing a fix for its customer relationship management (CRM) system, they found that the actual upgrade had to be completed within a 24-hour window as it was critical to effective customer service and the company had to find the least busy time of the week to take their systems offline. This is when the telecommunications company sought help from Applicate, a provider of business technology services based on Microsoft technologies and solutions that help maximize business outcomes. Applicate was able to customize the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 platform according to the client’s specifications, completing the entire process in only 22 hours. With the new CRM system, the company was able to reap benefits from improved customer service, faster customer support resolution times, and easier integration of future business possibilities.
