Previously, organizations had to dig through several spreadsheets for information. That is when Microsoft Dynamics 365 came to use, which took care of various aspects like:

You must be aware that nonprofits have to deal with several processes and solutions which need to be smart and secure.
Most importantly, these solutions must be customizable to their unique business workflows. Well, that is why Microsoft Dynamics is a saving grace for them!
Below, I have gathered the most important reasons which will make Dynamics 365 a better choice for non-profits.
- Single unit database
Non-profits have to deal with multiple departments at the same time. In fact, there are instances, where they have to handle tons of information simultaneously.
Dynamics 365 CRM serves as a platform dealing with all departments using a single database. Hence, it serves as a single unit for all operations, giving you a 360 view across departments avoiding data silos
- Custom-made systems
One of the major setbacks of previous management solutions is that, as a non-profit, you have to adjust your business according to features provided by the software.
With the release of Dynamics 365 CRM, you can customize the systems and amend them the way you want! Furthermore, the use of pre-built accelerators makes the process even faster!
- A single dashboard for interactions.
