Launch of Compass CRM for Fundraisers™ Fuels Top Microsoft® Partner Sales in Mid-Atlantic Region

 

Chesapeake, VA – Microsoft® Corporation has announced that Compass Technology, a Gold Certified Partner providing Microsoft-based contact management solutions, has achieved top sales honors for the newly released Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM 3.0 software.

 

Compass posted the results based on a large commitment from their client, the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), resulting in the largest single sale by seat size for the November 2005 sales period in the mid-Atlantic region. The seats served as the foundation for the launch and maiden implementation of the new Compass CRM for Fundraisers™, which is built on the Microsoft CRM platform.

 

CBN sought an integrated CRM solution that would help improve marketing, uncover additional opportunities, and tie together its fundraising activities. They opted for Compass CRM for Fundraisers, which combines the open, flexible framework of Microsoft CRM with custom extensions built by Compass specifically for fundraising organizations. CBN augmented this solution by adding the Compass Personalized Marketing™ module, which provides a simple interface and functionality driven by marketing processes.

 

Implementing the solution took less than 60 days and was even more affordable than CBN had envisioned. Joel Palser, Vice President, Chaplaincy & Telephone Ministry of CBN, states, “Compass’s applications have proven to be very simple to deploy. The staff members using the applications are loving it.”

 

Palser continues, “We are now able to create ‘transaction-optimized screens’ for different roles, allowing each user role to quickly and efficiently complete core business processes in the most optimal user interface possible.”
