Dynamics CRM contains a lot of information that’s crucial to many people across different layers of any given organization. Sales people need customer overviews and opportunity pipelines, support staff need case management and activity information, marketing staff need campaign and response information, and other users need information on records, transactions and activities.
Most importantly, managers and executives need a top-down view with summarized data to make quick and informed decisions about the business and its direction.
