We find that many businesses new to CRM have a long-lasting, productive relationship with their organizations' use of Microsoft Outlook. That is their currently used main productivity application and their connection to communications past and present with their various contacts.
So for the business new to Saleslogix CRM it is helpful to have an option for the new CRM users to more easily transition and adoption CRM. This capability is now even more pronounced with the new Saleslogix Xbar.
The Saleslogix Xbar in Outlook enables users to access their most important Saleslogix information and functionality through an intuitive, context-aware windows that is "docked" with the Outlook interface.
Now if you have Salesloix 8.x or 8.1 you have access to the Saleslogix xBar. It is a adaptable panel of options showing related information about the current contact.
Now you can use the email in your Outlook Inbox and turn email into a new opportunity, new lead, new account or new contact and effectively turn email into conversations. All of this is easily available from the Saleslogix Xbar inside your Microsoft Outlook.
Additionally you can drag an attachment directly to the Saleslogix contact shown in the Xbar. Now while you are in Outlook you have direct access to richer, and more details of the contact in Saleslogix. It will show the last key activities, open service tickets and sales opportunities.
