10 Foreword I met Justin Mathena in Toronto in the summer of 2004 where he was receiving the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Partner of the Year award with his previous company. Justin, Hoss Hostetler, and their team had been working with the Microsoft CRM product team since well before we released the first version to market and it was entirely appropriate that they receive this award. Justin and Hoss were far more than beta testers of that first version of Microsoft CRM; they provided those of us on the development team critical insight into understanding the business drivers behind CRM adoption and successful implementations. They showed us, developers of productivity applications, web browsers, and collaboration servers, that there is far more to business software success than building a great product. Success in this very different market requires that the technology implementer understand deeply and communicate broadly with their customer. Over the following years, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM business grew dramatically. At every turn the only limitation to growth seemed to be the number of firms with the knowledge and skills to evaluate and successfully implement CRM opportunities. And so I was delighted (and a bit envious) when Justin and Aaron Yetter invited me to lunch in the autumn of 2006 and told me that they had formed Altriva Solutions. Justin, Aaron, and Hoss have decades of experience building and implementing CRM solutions and have tackled implementations in large firms, in multiple industries across the country. Altriva s entry into the market could only increase the reach of Microsoft Dynamics CRM and increase the success of more businesses. Customer Relationship Management solutions need to enable business success. Historically, CRM systems have been implemented at great cost and with high expectations only to be underutilized, delivering disappointing results. I have seen enough CRM successes to know that this does not have to be. When properly implemented a CRM project can empower a workforce to increase sales and customer loyalty while increasing job satisfaction of the employees that use and manage the solution. This is possible when the solution fits the work habits of its users, when it can quickly adjust and conform to the changing processes within a business, and when the solution sits on top of a stable operational platform. Any solution adaptable to varied business needs requires people capable of fitting the solution to the strategic objectives of their organization. Success with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0: Implementing Customer Relationship Management will show you how to fit Microsoft Dynamics CRM to your organization, how to increase user adoption, and how to ensure ongoing success of the solution over time. With knowledge from their successful implementations of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Justin Mathena, Aaron Yetter, and Hoss Hostetler will show you how to bridge the divide between technology and business needs and have a positive impact on your organization. Barry Givens Senior Product Manager Microsoft Dynamics CRM xiii

15 Introduction The latest release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, with its Microsoft Office integration, ease of installation, and broad capabilities for configuring and extending Microsoft CRM to address an extremely wide variety of requirements, provides companies an opportunity to utilize a CRM tool that transforms their business if implemented with knowledge and expertise. In support of this new release, we decided it was time for a different kind of CRM how-to book that can help you understand your project s potential challenges and methods to overcome them. Instead of providing step-by-step installation details, a description of each component, and a user guide for configuration, this book provides expert insights to ensure success: background and understanding of the stages of a CRM initiative, a proven approach for implementation, questions and challenges to consider during the project, and how to expand the success of the initiative. It identifies how best to use, configure, or customize functionality that can be challenging to configure and use within your business. Generally, the information in this book will benefit anyone who wants to learn more about implementing Microsoft Dynamics CRM and how to approach each aspect of the project to ensure long-term success. Specifically, it is for the business sponsor, subject matter experts, business analysts, technical architects, and consultants involved in implementing Microsoft Dynamics CRM. After reading this book, if you are interested in discussing your implementation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM using our proven business-focused approach, go to and contact us. xxi
