PRODUCTIVITY GAINS DATA MANAGEMENTMICROSOFT ENVIRONMENT
powered by microsoft dynamics ® IPM is powered by the Microsoft
Dynamics® environment. This ensures the application can access
contact and company data to support and enhance project management
features. Through this integration, IPM provides full CRM
functionality, using contact information to support the document
and contract control process.
Instead of relying on disparate systems, IPM lets you operate
within a single framework, promoting ease of use and efficiency, as
well as reducing errors from double-entry. Microsoft Dynamics® adds
the tools you need to track activity with subcontractors, business
partners and prospects, and helps to provide a 360-degree view of
all interactions within a single solution.
documents and communication
The IPM document history lets users take full advantage of the
powerful Microsoft Dynamics® environment by automating filing of
all project data. Every type of document, contract, and email
communication that is created or received is automatically filed in
the database, allowing the user to track, manage and retrieve
relevant data from multiple access points.
information access Today’s workers need to access data in an
ever-increasing variety of places and situations. IPM uses the
Microsoft Dynamics® framework to let users access their data
anytime, anywhere, and on the device of their choosing. As a
completely hosted application, IPM can access real-time information
whenever you are online.
ipm reporting IPM optimises your team’s performance by using
Microsoft SQL Server reporting services to improve access to your
business data and provide better visibility into your projects. IPM
delivers an extensive library of predefined reports that reflect
over 20 years of experience in the Construction/Engineering
industry. These reports can be further tailored to suite individual
requirements.
workflows Workflows are a standard feature of the Microsoft
Dynamics® CRM framework and enable users to automate and customise
their use of IPM. A typical workflow may be as simple as a meeting
minute reminder or a more complex Purchase Order approval.
security The IPM security model provides a highly efficient
means for establishing and changing privileges to ensure that users
always have the appropriate access level.
