Geoplan had a customer accounts & marketing database to hold customers details, plus multiple in-house systems and Sage accounting software for accounts and invoicing purposes. Disparate systems and silos of data made it difficult to consolidate customer information and prevented its 28 accounts, support and sales employees from collaborating and servicing customers effectively.   To combat this, Geoplan chose to deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM version 3.0 across its  UK business.
