The business landscape is evolving; the traditional way people work together-in the office or in the field-looks very different today than it did just a couple of years ago. We examine what businesses need from a customer relationship management (CRM) system, discuss the defining CRM components, and describe how you can attain reliable user adoption in your organization. Discover how the tight integration with Microsoft Office® can help you pull information from Microsoft Dynamics CRM into applications like Microsoft Office Excel® and Microsoft Office Word® for easy reporting options. We explain how Microsoft Dynamics CRM version 3.0 delivers: A native Microsoft Office Outlook® interface that integrates Microsoft Dynamics CRM into a familiar and productive work environment. Powerful workflow and integrated reporting capabilities that can help you drive business processes and results. A Microsoft Web services architecture that offers rapid customization, integration, and flexibility. Increased business awareness, improved management insight, and real-time access on any mobile device. Request Free!

The more relevant your calls to action, the better connections you’ll make with prospects. Potential buyers of your services have a broad set of concerns that must be satisfied before they begin the buying process. If you’re simply serving up content about features and benefits, you’re ignoring their preferences and illustrating to them your lack of insight into their buying process. This white paper outlines a strategy to create a call-to-action architecture that helps you connect with prospects and sets your sales team up for a successful close. You’ll learn how to: Engage your prospects through a fair exchange of information and capture their permission for future marketing efforts Anticipate your buyers’ needs by aligning relevant information with the stages of their buying cycle and satisfying their objections Create specific conversion points that lead to sales engagement Request Free!

Conversion Mapping: Building a Call-to-Action Architecture that Speeds Your Sales Pipeline

The trend of increasing heat densities in data centers has held consistent with advances in computing technology for many years. As power density increased, it became evident that the degree of difficulty in cooling these higher power demand loads was also increasing. In recent years, traditional cooling system design has proven inadequate to remove concentrated heat loads (up to and greater than 20 kW per rack). This has driven an architectural shift in data center cooling. The advent of a newer cooling architecture that was designed for the higher densities has brought with it increased efficiencies for the data center. This white paper discusses the efficiency benefits of row-based cooling compared to two other common cooling architectures. Request Free!

Energy Efficient Cooling for Data Centers: A Close-Coupled Row Solution

Electricity usage costs have become an increasing fraction of the total cost of ownership (TCO) for data centers. It is possible to dramatically reduce the electrical consumption of typical data centers through appropriate design of the network-critical physical infrastructure and through the design of the IT architecture. This paper explains how to quantify the electricity savings and provides examples of methods that can greatly reduce electrical power consumption. Request Free!
