Migration of local CRM into the cloud

The global crisis caused by the worldwide pandemic has raised a number of issues related not only to the need of quick creation of remote jobs, but also to the ability to optimize processes in the shortest possible time, adapting them to new business conditions.

Enterprises that moved their CRM systems to the cloud at the time of the pandemic outbreak quickly coped with the organization of personnel remote work and were able to restructure their business processes in a fairly short period of time, with practically no loss of productivity. Their teams have adapted quite easily to remote work by supporting secure, seamless cloud access to shared data and common communication.

Companies that have been planning cloud migration for too long have faced the worst business “continuity” crisis and keep on struggling with it.

However, some enterprises still use on-premises deployments of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement CRM application, traditionally considering the cloud migration process to be complex, costly and risky in terms of data integrity and security, while overlooking the fact that the cost of migration is incomparable with the inability to compete with more advanced market leaders.

Today the use of cloud technologies is the most important indicator of business modernity and innovativeness.
