Operational Impact
With Dynamics 365, GSG gained much better insight into the state of its business. The new system allowed GSG to see what it costs to win deals, how much effort it takes to create certain activities, and disentangle its sales pipeline from its project work pipeline. Employees could view all this information at a glance on Dynamics dashboards. | |
The new system improved staff utilization. With Project Service Automation, GSG could see who was available, who was oversubscribed, and who had expertise or interest in specific topics. This visibility was previously achieved through word of mouth and emails. | |
The switch to Dynamics 365 resulted in significant licensing cost savings, which GSG reinvested in new technology projects. These projects included deploying Microsoft Power BI and additional Dynamics applications, as well as further customizing existing Dynamics applications. | |
Quantitative Benefit
GSG watched its licensing costs drop by 34% when it switched from Salesforce to Dynamics 365. | |
