Dean Jones, Founder & Senior VP and Jim Sheehan, SVP The advantage of customer relationship management (CRM) system extends beyond running a business and is closely related to maintaining relationships. A CRM system has been associated by means of enhancing relationship with existing customers, finding new customers and winning back former customers. This is what PowerObjects—a professional services firm has been assisting organizations worldwide with for more than two decades. The company is 100 percent focused on providing CRM service, support, education and add-ons for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and has been tailoring services for different customers, from the small businesses and do-it-yourself crowd to enterprise-level, large-scale implementations. PowerObjects’ programs include PowerSuccess, XRM, RxRM (CRM for Healthcare), customized portals, and integration with other systems, to name a few. One can clearly say that PowerObjects is passionate about offering flawless, responsive support to Microsoft Dynamics CRM users.Aiming to be the best in the world at just one thing— Microsoft Dynamics 365, has helped transform PowerObjects since its inception, driving exponential sales growth and international recognition. PowerObjects, which previously did a wide range of customer business application development, now only concentrates on offering nothing but service, support, education and add-ons for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, which organizes and automates customer relationship management, sales, marketing and other business processes. “We bet the company on it, overnight,” says Jim Sheehan, Chief Operating Officer and Principal as he terms the company’s “fanatical focus” on a single product.

Today Microsoft Dynamics 365 has culminated into a cloud-based solution that combines both CRM and ERP capabilities into one seamless application.
It removes traditional barriers and unites the front office and the back office with a single end-to-end system for managing every aspect of a business.

The company offers built-in business intelligence (BI) and analytics right where customers need it – embedded in the business processes.

In an instance, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) for three quarters of a century now has been the health partner people can trust. These associations are backed by PowerObjects, an HCL Technologies Company who has become one of the leaders in delivering Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions through unparalleled offerings of service, support, education, and add-ons. Blue KC was using an outdated version of CRM and wanted to modernize. They knew they were missing out on opportunities to get to know their customers better. They wanted one source of the truth for all their customer data, instead of referencing different databases, spreadsheets, and documents. They were assisted by PowerObjects to build a Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online solution not only for their sales organization, but also to roadmap how the technology would be implemented company-wide.

PowerObjects constantly adds to their CRM How-to Portal, and host an annual Dynamics CRM educational conference called PowerConnect.
