Microsoft CRM – Leading by Example with Financial Services Case Studies
*Updated February 23 2014 to include Natwest*
Continuing with the financial services theme I wanted to write about some of the most successful case studies in the industry. Rather than just provide you a link to the case studies I have tried to pull out the salient points in two to four bullet points. If you want further detail then I have also included the full case study should you wish to read on.
I try to stay on top of the latest projects and CRM implementations in the financial services industry, keeping current with the latest trends and best practises is a key part of my job. I keep in regular contact with existing and previous clients and regularly catch up with people in the field to find out what they are doing in the client management arena. With so much going on it can be quite a challenge, fortunately Microsoft also maintains a site dedicated to case studies, If you use the advanced find you can filter by industry and product. Below are some of the ones I use most frequently, there are many, many more.
Some of the largest and most successful financial institution in the world use Microsoft Dynamics CRM unfortunately we can’t name them publicly! One such organisation is a major bank here in the UK, they went live in a matter of a few short months and are delivering new business processes to the organisation every week! Their CRM project is in fact so successful and cost effective that many other departments are looking to deliver their projects on the Microsoft CRM platform. A quite unexpected and good problem for the CRM delivery team! I hope to be able to share more information on this later in the year. In the meantime here are plenty of other great stories!
Citi
Citi Private Bank deploys Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Citi Private Bank is part of Citigroup and delivers private banking services to ultra-high net worth customers across the world. Three years ago, the company launched Project Sheen – an initiative focused on delivering an optimal client experience across all touchpoints.
Approximately 1,000 Citi Private Bank employees are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Implemented across locations in Asia in November 2012 and the full roll out across all regions worldwide was completed by August 2013. “Ease of implementation was important for us. We had already experienced the challenge of trying a new CRM system that didn’t work and so it was important that the switch was seamless – and it was,”
Citi wanted to ensure that customer information is held in a logical and ordered way that enables bankers to best evaluate clients’ portfolios and to identify investment opportunities.
“our technology team considered Microsoft Dynamics CRM and found that it was everything we wanted and more. Most importantly, it could serve as a global solution and integrate with the platform we were currently using.”
“Another factor we found to be positive with Microsoft Dynamics CRM was the ability to be compliant with regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction,”
We can deliver solutions to our clients in a much more relevant way because we understand their needs,”. “We know what they’re interested in and what their preferences are, which means we can target them better.”
