BPA CRM for SharePoint 2010

End users experience is a key preoccupation at BPA. The new layout sticks to the new SharePoint 2010 look and feel. The current page and zone are enlightened and important characters are in bold. Data is easier to read.

BPA CRM 2010 includes the new SharePoint 2010 ribbon. When adding or editing items a new popup window opens in the middle of the page and the application layer turns to grey in the background.

SharePoint 2010 brings a lot in term of performance enhancements. Lists now support millions of items.

BPA CRM 2010 becomes a real multilingual application. End users can select their preferred language to work with.

BPA CRM 2010 will also propose new add-ons like scorecards and workflow. The new scorecard component allows tracking all strategic KPIs in one single location. BPA Workflow 2010 is a new powerful workflow tool extending SharePoint native workflow capabilities.

  NEW - BPA KPI 2010 - EASY SCORECARDS FOR SHAREPOINT

BPA KPI 2010 is a new tool to display all your strategic key performance indicators (KPIs) in one single place.

BPA KPI is included in all BPA Applications like BPA CRM, Quality or Project PRO 2010.

BPA KPI for SharePoint 2010

KPIs are grouped by categories like objectives and processes. KPIs are measured for a specific time frame like weeks or months. Indicators are displayed like in a scorecard based on Kaplan’s methodology. It is possible to display user related KPIs in dedicated scorecard pages.

Each KPI contains targeted values. Different colors will be displayed depending on the current value and the targeted values. A green color will be displayed if the current value is better than the targeted value. Average values and trends are automatically calculated.

Usually the measured KPIs are manually created each weeks or months. It is also possible to connect to SharePoint lists or external databases if needed.

Scorecards are a very efficient way to display easy-to-read indicators with colors.

When drilling down you could track all improvement or corrective actions related to your KPIs.

BPA is providing unique business applications for SharePoint that are linked together. When tracking KPIs and follow-up actions, BPA CRM becomes a fantastic CRM + Quality management application.

At BPA we are tracking KPIs like lead to trial or trial to deal conversion rates each month. One of our objectives is to improve indirect sales. So we track the number of new activated partners each month.
