A Front Office Solution for Associations

Protech has adapted the Microsoft CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution to meet the unique needs of member-based organizations. A dramatic shift away from traditional, proprietary association management software (AMS) systems, Protech CRM for Members offers associations a fully integrated, customized, cost-effective IT solution to data management and financial reporting challenges.  This front office solution also integrates smoothly with the Microsoft Great Plains back office solution. 
Microsoft CRM

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the leading customer service and sales force automation application. It's technology that works the way you do, that works the way your organization does, and that works the way IT wants it to.  Delivered within the familiar Microsoft Outlook interface, Microsoft CRM is easy to use, customize, and maintain; integrates with other business systems; and delivers a safe and secure technology investment.

How well can you react to -- and even predict -- ever-shifting member needs and expectations? How easily can you conduct complex marketing campaigns, or create an ad hoc marketing campaign targeted to a specific group? Is your non-dues revenue at the level you’d like it to be at? And are disparate databases hindering your ability to provide top-notch member service?

If any of these challenges sound familiar, consider the value of Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (Microsoft CRM).

It's technology that works the way you do.
Microsoft CRM is the leading customer service and sales force automation application. And because it was designed to partner with Outlook, Microsoft CRM delivers lower training costs, broader user adoption, less application-switching, higher productivity, and an incredibly rapid return on investment.

Microsoft CRM empowers you to work the way you want to work with features such as:

bullet Tight integration with Microsoft Office and Outlook, allowing employees to export information from Microsoft CRM into Excel and Word at the click of a button.
bullet Customized workspaces that allow you to create, save, and reuse favorite views of member information.
bullet Powerful Service Calendar that allows you to schedule activities by resource, time, or service.
bullet Powerful reporting and analysis tools that make it easy to identify opportunities and problems at a glance.
bullet Great mobile support that delivers instant access to member information from any personal digital assistant (PDA), laptop, or browser.

It's technology that works the way your association does.
Microsoft CRM adapts easily to your existing workflows and processeses. It's easy to  quickly modify application forms, data fields, and relationships and add new activities and objects without writing a single line of code. This makes it easy to tailor Microsoft CRM to suit your needs and fit your association's business practices. And workflows like "next-step suggestions" and "automatic task assignment" help increase internal efficiencies.

Microsoft CRM 3.0 includes:

bullet Marketing automation that makes it easy to build customer or lead lists, create targeted marketing campaigns, track the progress of those campaigns, and follow up on campaigns.
bullet Quick Campaign wizards that enable you to send e-mail blasts to targeted lists and to track response.
bullet Service scheduling that allows you to centrally manage all aspects of member service requests.

Microsoft CRM 3.0 also features unparalleled customization capability so you can align Microsoft CRM to your association's business processes. It's easy to add custom objects and activities, design custom views for different users, and build business logic to automate repetitive tasks, tell users next steps, send e-mails, and raise alerts for open items. Nothing falls through the cracks, so your members receive the best possible service.

And because it's all built on the Microsoft platform, the customizations carry forward into future versions and upgrades!

It's technology that works the way technology should
Microsoft CRM works the way your IT staff wants it to, because it’s based on proven, industry-standard Microsoft technology that’s easy to learn and work with. You’ll enjoy a rapid, low-cost deployment; low support costs; and easy scalability as your business grows.

IT-friendly features include:

bullet Easy-to-modify forms, data fields, and information relationships that deliver the customized information you need.
bullet Streamlined installation diagnostic tools that reduce setup time and help ensure a successful deployment of Microsoft CRM.
bullet Fast data searches across large volumes of member information that help you find the information you need.
bullet Easy-to-use step-by-step Microsoft Exchange Connector Deployment Wizard that simplifies Microsoft CRM integration with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook.
bullet Simple and fast connectivity to external data sources that provide access to relevant information.
bullet Advanced, centralized management and notification tools that give the IT staff the right information to manage your CRM system.
