Charlottesville, VA, — Skyline Vertical Solutions announced today that the Skyline XRM Project Management Series (SXPM) will be a featured solution at the Microsoft Project Conference 2009 held in Phoenix, Arizona September 14 through 17.
Today, contractors of all disciplines face complex project management challenges due to documentation requirements, increased regulation, safety concerns, budgetary constraints and environmental consequences. This leads to the need to track an ever increasing amount of data and related activities. Whether building infrastructure, managing economic stimulus contracts or performing commercial construction, project teams need to easily track and record virtually all information while simultaneously delivering services on time and within budget.
Developed to meet the needs of the contracting industry including project managers, architects, engineers, municipal service authorities, and owners, the SXPM Series tracks and reports on all costs and activities related to individual and consolidated projects. In June 2009, Microsoft identified the SXPM Series as one of the five most promising business applications built on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM’s xRM platform through its selection for presentation at the prestigious Microsoft BizSpark Incubation Week held in Boston.
“With xRM, Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides a robust application platform that enables partners like Skyline Vertical Solutions to rapidly develop new solutions” said Brad Wilson, General Manager, Microsoft Dynamics CRM. “Innovative solutions, like contracting management applications built by Skyline Vertical Solutions, are vital helping organizations compete more effectively in today’s economic environment”
By leveraging the xRM platform, the SXPM Series takes full advantage of the complete breadth of Microsoft technology including the Microsoft Office system, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office SharePoint Services, and Microsoft SQL Server with powerful analytics. The SXPM Series, coupled with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM suite enables the ability to track contacts and leads, manage opportunities, perform service activities and engage in marketing while utilizing the powerful workflow engine to increase efficiencies. Leveraging Microsoft technology, information is securely shared across the organization, making project management tasks easier and concise reporting instantly available.
