Till the end of 2014, Orange used the original CRM system to perform its business activities. However, the system was not able to meet all required criteria of the company anymore and became obsolete. Orange decided to solve this situation and replace the inefficient system with a modern platform for B2B customer management.

• All the applications used by the company were not mutually connected. We upgraded and integrated them within the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 platform.
• Hence, Orange has gained a possibility to add new applications in the future which will be mutually connected as prevention of ineffective work with information.

• Thanks to the new CRM system, employees have gained not only comprehensive 360-degree view on B2B customers, but also a possibility to track and identify business opportunities and monitor the whole customer service process.
• Sales department managers have an overview of activities and fulfilling the goals via transparent reporting.

Technology changes quickly, not excluding the CRM applications we have delivered – CLM (Contact and Lead Management) and the retention application which after the years of operation needed to be upgraded.

Orange built an extensive sales network consisting of about 3,600 dealers and members of support services. The company has achieved excellent business results thanks to sound business network management.

• An internal analysis identified further opportunities how to optimize access to relevant sales information. The existing Knowledge Base system built on PHP and MySQL technologies ceased to meet increasing demands on quality, availability and speed when locating information.
• These findings motivated Orange to bring new quality to the sales network, leading to higher effectivity of the employees. The company decided to implement new robust solutions built on the latest Microsoft technology portal.

• In order to increase productivity of its sales network, Orange opted for the extensive Knowledge Base built on Microsoft SharePoint 2010 as a supporting tool.
