MobileAccess for CRM

 

MobileAccess extends virtually all of the core Sales and Service capabilities of Dynamics CRM to enterprise smart devices – enabling field staff to accomplish their primary CRM related functions, anywhere, anytime. MobileAccess is available on-premise or software as a service. MobileAccess is available for Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Apple mobile devices.

Multi-windowed application: This patented approach means mobile professionals can open as many CRM screens as needed for use at one time. They can open an Account screen, a Contact, and also review an Opportunity. All the screens remain open for quick back-and-forth multi-tasking. This allows users to start typing a note in an Activity, and part way through reference an Opportunity, or perhaps leave MobileAccess and review an email, or even receive a customer call. When users come back to MobileAccess, even if hours later, the partly completed Activity note and all the screens are just as they were left. Users can close one or all the screens at once.

Persistent, Smartclient Application: MobileAccess is a persistent smartclient that specifically addresses the common shortcoming of mobility options. MobileAccess is always available for users, regardless of connectivity. It allows users to have offline (locally cached) data on their smartphones for instant record access. Users are not dependent on the availability or quality of wireless signals. Virtually all the functionality in CRM is inherent in the client – providing a consistent workstation and offline mobile experience. System administrators can apply criteria to determine which records are pushed to smartphones, based on their organizational objectives. Common criteria include my accounts, my contacts, and my opportunities.

Seamless Always-Available Application and Data Access. Although smartphone users often have a wireless signal, there are significant advantages to having an always-available application and “local data” as opposed to only accessing records over the air, in an “online” manner. MobileAccess provides a unique, always-available application and data access which enables users to access the entire CRM database (as security permits) when there is a wireless signal, and to also access their frequently required local data from their smartphone whether or not there is a wireless signal. The always-available application and records (data access) with MobileAccess enables much faster record access, enhanced usability and superior user productivity when compared to “online-only products”.

Fully Automated Record Synchronization and Management: MobileAccess includes a fully automated record synchronization and management service – keeping each user’s records constantly up-to-date by pushing updates to and from their smartphone. Each user’s records may be automatically pushed to their smartphone. Any changes a user makes to their records are cached on the device when there is no wireless signal, and then automatically synchronized back to the CRM server when the wireless signal is re-established. If a record is added or updated on the CRM server, such as a new lead, it is automatically pushed or updated on the appropriate smartphone. This ensures that mobile users always have access to all the latest information, and ensures management has access to the latest records and reports from CRM, while their mobile workforce is still in the field.

Form Rules for Client-side Logic: The implementation of client-side form logic on smartphones is a highly desirable capability–but presents unique challenges. There are numerous business benefits to using form logic, the most common being: improved data entry time, data consistency and quality. Some devices don’t support JavaScript and those that do, struggle to perform these complex procedural tasks which were never designed for limited device processors. MobileAccess overcomes these challenges and enables custom client-side form logic through the use of declarative Meta Rules.
