Overcoming Key Challenges for Consulting Firms

Unlocking Success: How We Help Consulting Firms Thrive

Connected Sales Processes

New client acquisition is a critical component of growth. Standalone Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications are inadequate. Extending CRM to include functionality to develop project estimates from templates, proposal generation, document management and eSign allows your sales team to remain in a single application to perform all their tasks. Applications like Dynamics 365 can help you:

Increase Efficiencies of Sales Activities: Providing a single application to manage your end-to-end sales processes increases accuracy, reduces manual entry, and enhances team collaboration.
Manage Opportunities as Projects: Layering the concept of projects into sales opportunities allows for the seamless transition from sales to delivery, eliminating duplicate entries and increasing the accuracy of knowledge transfer to project managers and consulting resources.
Forecast Revenue and Resource Demand: ‘Opportunity Projects’ provides the foundation for forecasting of pipeline revenue and resource demand from the integrated project quotes/estimates.

Enhancing Project Efficiency

Manual tasks bog down project timelines, impacting client satisfaction and profitability. The challenge lies in streamlining processes to improve efficiency. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions like Dynamics 365 can help you:
