Microsoft Qatar yesterday hosted a First Look event to introduce Qatari businesses to the raw power of Microsoft 'Dynamics 365', at the Palazzo Ballroom of MarsaMalaz, Kempinski, The Pearl Doha.
The event brought together decision-makers from across Qatar to witness the ground-breaking union of customer-relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource-planning (ERP) technologies that will accelerate organisations in their journey towards digital transformation, enabling them to engage customers, empower employees, optimise operations, and reinvent products and business models.
Microsoft Dynamics 365, the next generation of intelligent business applications in the cloud, helps businesses capitalise on this positive future, by unifying traditional capabilities into new purpose-built applications that work together seamlessly, to manage specific business processes across sales, customer service, field service, operations, marketing, project service automation and financial management.
Designed to enable greater productivity, deliver deeper insights and adapt to business needs, Dynamics 365 helps accelerate organisational transformations to meet the changing needs of customers and capture new business opportunities.
“Organisations across the Gulf region, especially Qatar, are among the boldest in the world in the adoption of new technologies,” said Yehia Nabil, Dynamics Lead, Microsoft Qatar. “With Dynamics 365, Qatari businesses can start with what they need and pay for what they need. The Dynamics 365 cloud service allows your ERP and CRM functions to grow with your business, so if you meet a sudden scale-up requirement, you are not held back by traditional software procurement cycles. The massive benefits of analytical and predictive tools – already seen in products such as Office 365 and Bing predicts–bring unprecedented real-world value to all types and scales of business.”
Dynamics 365 gives organisations, regardless of scale, access to the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools ever seen in a business application. It hosts a complete set of ERP tools that boost business productivity for enterprises, equipping departments such as operations, sales, customer service and finance with global scalability and digital intelligence to boost growth. The applications provide greater visibility across systems and allow operations to become more connected, and deliver strategic, data-driven insights that enable organisations to transform their business models.
“At Elsewedy Cables Qatar, we strive each day to drive growth and innovation, so we can reinvent our products,” said Magdy Mansour, GM-IT,Elsewedy Cables Qatar.
“This was only possible by gaining deep insight into our operations, enabling our people to manage our projects, serve our customers, forecast demand and control budgets, in easy and efficient ways. Microsoft Dynamics 365 stood out as the best-in-class solution – a single platform that met all our requirements, accelerating growth in the organisation while reducing operational costs, empowering us to achieve more.”
“In order to bolster our success and the quality of service delivery to our clients, we were actively looking for an agile, robust and scalable solution that would competently take care of our industry-specific requirements – such as project management, cost control and project accounting,” said Salim Jarrar, CEO, Al Khayyat Contracting and Trading Co. “Microsoft Dynamics, along with industry knowledge from Pavilion IT, arose as the obvious choice, not only bringing efficiency to processes and workflows, but also driving smarter decisions each day.”
