CEC Co., Ltd.
Landscape Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Nami Fukutomi; hereinafter "Landscape") announces the integration of its customer data integration tool, uSonar*1, which features Japan's largest corporate database, with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, an integrated CRM application service provided by Microsoft. This integration is made possible through a dedicated Dynamics CRM module provided by CEC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Fujio Tahara; hereinafter "CEC").
The integration between uSonar and Dynamics CRM reduces the operational burden associated with registering corporate information in Dynamics CRM and ensures that corporate data is always kept up to date. This enables the revitalization of sales and marketing activities and fosters stronger customer relationships.
In the operation of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Sales Force Automation (SFA) systems, maintaining corporate information on a daily basis requires strict rules to prevent duplicate registrations and input errors. Consequently, users have faced a significant operational burden regarding registration and updates. This integration facilitates the use of Dynamics CRM alongside the Corporate Database, which is the largest in Japan, covering 8.2 million locations built by Landscape. By using this in combination with the dedicated module provided by CEC, users can easily extract and transcribe detailed corporate information with simple operations when registering new company data, and once registered, subsequent updates are automatically reflected.
