Focus your grants management investment on the grants, not the process
Accelerate and improve grants management for your federal agency with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Grants Management Solution—an end-to-end solution for managing grants using familiar Microsoft products.
If, like many government agencies, you find yourself managing the approval, distribution, and tracking of grants with fewer personnel, you understand the need for improved efficiency. Being highly efficient not only enables you to perform your grant management tasks on time and within budget, it also helps you to allocate more of your time to what's most important: evaluating solicitations and distributing funds to the most deserving applicants.
It's no secret that the right technology can provide the tools to significantly improve efficiency. But a technology solution only increases efficiency if it helps you manage your grants without spending valuable time learning and working with an entirely new and separate system.
That's why Microsoft, with the help of industry experts and agency end-users, developed Microsoft Dynamics CRM Grants Management Solution—an all-in-one, integrated solution that streamlines the grants process from initial solicitation through approval and awards. The solution helps you with all of the things a grants management solution should, such as tracking grant status, processing payouts, and creating reports. Unlike other solutions, however, it does all of these things—and more—within the context of the Microsoft tools you and your support staff already know and use every day, like Microsoft Office Outlook. This transparent integration enables you to:
| • | Work with grant solicitations from the same place you perform much of your work already: Your Outlook Inbox. |
| • | Automatically send notifications when the grant application status changes, so you don't have to remember (and find the time) to create and send them manually. |
| • | Keep things moving smoothly by automatically generating task lists for each stage of the process. |
| • | Process and track payments easily, thanks to transparent integration with your back-end financial systems. |
