About this Service
It is important that Queen's is customer focussed, improves customer service and understands the needs of customers, offering targeted and tailored services. CRM will help to achieve this by keeping all customer data in the one place. This will be extremely beneficial for colleagues across the University, enhancing support services and increasing efficiency when dealing with customer enquiries. Potentially it could offer huge rewards e.g. in student recruitment, student retention and for alumni when making contributions to Queen's.
Information Services is implementing Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This is a web based CRM system, which integrates with Microsoft Outlook and the Microsoft SharePoint platform. Current Microsoft Dynamics CRM Projects within the University include:
- Prospective Student Engagement Project
- ECIT/CSIT
- Research and Enterprise
- Employer Engagement
- Finance Case Resolution
- Queen's Online Case Resolution
- Library Systems Case Resolution
- Accessing CRM
All Microsoft Dynamics CRM users must have a license.
This license includes the CRM plug-in for Microsoft Outlook.
For the latest cost of a per user license, contact the CRM Support Team.
