When it comes to implementing CRMs (whether D365, SalesForce or PowerApps) the most critical decision is not the technology but the implementation team.

The choice between PowerApps (Dataverse) and Dynamics 365 would be less critical because they share the exact same “backbone” so users are not noticing any usability differences.   While various Dynamics 365 modules offer a plethora of features, they often require specialized consultants to implement them, hence the quality of your CRM becomes reliant on the commitment and skill levels at hand. For many companies (we’d say for all!) PowerApps emerges as a superior choice. Let’s explore the compelling reasons why:

Cost Effectiveness

Out of its many advantages, the economical positioning of PowerApps at $20 per user/month shines the brightest.  Compared with Dynamics 365 licenses ranging between $85 for Sales or Customer Service to $750+ for Marketing (we recommend ClickDimensions) the math gets simple very fast.  With the same Dataverse technology and Power Platform at your back, we can show you a better way to tap those tremendous savings.

Core Capabilities without the Clutter

Dataverse – the database “under the hood” that is used by both D365 and PowerApps equally, provides all the essential features you need to manage your customer relationships effectively. With core tables such Contacts, Account, Activities (Email, Appointment etc), Invoice and a few other tables readily available, all that’s left is to extend Dataverse properly to design your next best CRM with:

1. Same Security model & features
2. Same system Workflows capabilities
3. Same PowerAutomate, PowerBI and PowerPages
4. Same advanced customizations to make any system “dance”
5. No changes to existing Azure cloud services (we can also help to extend)

Tailor made CRM

Just as any well-cut tailored suits, PowerApps offers CRM designers a pristine framework to build lean, well-cut, on-point customized solutions. Every D365 modules that arrives with vast number of elements off-the-shelf, never-to-be-used Tables, buttons, product features and forms that only enable system customizers to make a further mess, that general clutter can bloat the UIs and impact the performance. CRM systems can be unforgiving, often enough tiny implementation mistakes come back to bite sooner or later, keeping your IT crew on their toes and busy. We always say that with CRMs more so than with anything else, cleanliness IS godliness!
