Small and midsize businesses have often been limited in the available tools that can help them take their company further. However, the new Office 365 CRM app is going to change that completely. The app is called Outlook Customer Manager and it is a customer relationship management (CRM) tool that can provide some serious benefits. It will include a sales and marketing tool within Microsoft Outlook.

What the App Can Do

Organizations can use Outlook Customer Manager to perform a variety of tasks. When used within the email system, it can organize and bring to the surface various types of interactions with customers. Some things it will bring together include emails, events, meetings, tasks, documents, and any other type of interaction that has occurred through Microsoft Outlook. It goes one step further, though, by creating a timeline of all interaction. It brings together things such as notes, files, emails, deadlines, calls, meetings, tasks, and more, all related to specific customers. While the app is found within Microsoft Office 365, the information is gathered via email, calendars, and even call log data within Office 365 apps. In addition to this timeline, that allows you to really see the path you have taken with a customer, you can also set up reminders for when you should reach out to them again.
