Mobile Service Management: Biotechnology Specialists INFORS HT Rely on Cloud Computing
WINDISCH, Switzerland and PFAFFIKON, Switzerland, January 27, 2011 - "Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011: A New Dimension in Working" was the theme
that Microsoft Switzerland used as it launched the online version of
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 on 20 January. The first customer projects were
presented as a part of the program.
On that day, coresystems introduced coresuite mobile for Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 2011. Using the example of the projects for supporting mobile
service management at INFORS HT, which were planned jointly with ACCENTIS,
coresystems demonstrated how business processes in corporations can be
optimised using cloud computing.
INFORS HT, a globally oriented company with about 150 employees, is a
market leader in the development and production of shakers and bioreactors. A
large number of employees equipped with various mobile devices work in the
field.
"The CRM strategy at INFORS HT focuses on comprehensive, efficient and
effective account management. As a result, our CRM roadmap provides for the
support of our mobile employees in management, sales and customer service
using the cloud-based Dynamics Mobile CRM solution," explained Kurt
Berchtold, CIO, Member of the Board, INFORS HT.
Today's service technicians, for example, rely on mobile IT support to
provide top-quality customer service. When a need for service arises, these
workers must be well-informed and on-site as quickly as possible. This is the
only way to ensure that customer devices are back in service promptly.
coresuite mobile for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 supports the entire service
process from start to finish - from the moment the service request comes in
all the way through invoicing and reporting. Data is synchronized via the
coresuite cloud.
The service process is ideally supported
After INFORS receives a service request for a defective device, the
customer device is first identified. Next, the service order is arranged and
sent to the service technician's iPad via the coresuite cloud. The technician
also receives all relevant customer data at the same time. The cloud-based
service map can display the exact location of the service call. Likewise, the
technician can confirm the order using the coresuite cloud, and the
confirmation is then forwarded to central service scheduling. Once the order
at the customer's site is complete, the technician reports the status to the
central office, sending the report on work performed at the same time. Using
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, the service team informs the customer that the
problem has been resolved and the incident is closed. To close the service
order, all relevant invoicing data is sent from Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online
to the ERP system, and the invoice is generated.
Using Windows Phone 7, the service manage can check on the status of all
service procedures at any time, thus always keeping up-to-date.
"Due to the use of cloud technology from coresystems together with the
high mobility and independence of user equipment provided by the Dynamics
Mobile CRM solution from ACCENTIS, our Dynamics CRM solution benefits from
additional functions, and our employees can respond to the needs of our
customers even more quickly using extremely simple and trusted devices,"
concluded Kurt Berchtold. It is planned to implement the project in stages.
Initially, the solution will go live at the INFORS headquarters in
Switzerland, to be followed at branches in Germany, the UK, France, the
Benelux countries, and Canada.
