Microsoft Dynamics collaboration technology for collaborative
workspaces
Collaboration technology capabilities available in Microsoft Dynamics solutions
can make your company's offerings and key business functionality readily available
to customers, employees, business partners-in fact, pretty much anybody you want
to engage with.
For example, you can provide customized, dedicated sites built on Microsoft SharePoint
technology on your company's intranet or extranet. Because both the portal and collaborative
technology is activated in a smooth setup, you can offer site users a wealth of
information and efficient, collaborative processes very quickly after implementing
Microsoft Dynamics.
Illustration: Business portals provide Web-based business-system access to
authorized people, helping them locate information quickly and complete specified
tasks no matter where in the world they might be working from.
In addition, your information technology (IT) staff or Microsoft Dynamics implementation
partner can use Microsoft tools to connect other business applications to Microsoft
Dynamics, extending even further the functionality and information available on
intranet and extranet sites.

Improve productivity, enhance professional growth
Microsoft Dynamics solutions enhanced by team collaboration sites on your company's
intranet can help your people be more productive and improve their job satisfaction.
Using team sites, employees can collaborate to speed the progress of complex projects,
create and review documents and reports, and access company information and business
functions.
And Microsoft Dynamics portals and collaboration functions can even be customized
to be relevant to specific roles and tasks, so employees can experience a greater
sense of control and individual impact in their work.

sales and business performance reports, enabling members of your management team
to more easily view and understand them-and then collaborate on decisions and actions
that are in the best interest of the company.
With the help of intranet sites boosting their resourcefulness, your people can
perform many tasks more effectively, including the following:

Strengthen your business partner relationships
Your preferred business partners may be in many different time zones and geographic
regions. With Microsoft Dynamics, you can provide them with their own partner business
portal on your extranet and give them a practical way to collaborate with you. For
your employees, working with partners through such portals can be less labor-intensive
and makes them more productive. This is especially true if you and your partners
engage in joint activities, such as product development or sales programs. Microsoft
Dynamics business portals bring a new immediacy to these efforts, enabling your
company to accelerate and simplify communications, share confidential information
in a more secure manner than e-mail would allow, and reduce the cost of doing business.
Thanks to Microsoft Dynamics collaborative capabilities, your business partners
are empowered to take care of business-including by doing the following activities:

that is always open, you can also gain a much better understanding of customer preferences

you give them. You may well realize increased customer satisfaction, larger orders,
