SalesFUSION announced strong adoption of its unique inDynamics solution that integrates enterprise marketing automation software into the Dynamics CRM platform. The solution offers marketers a full marketing platform with native entities in CRM

ATLANTA, GA, September 19, 2011

SalesFUSION, the maker of SalesFUSION 360, an integrated sales and marketing demand generation platform, debuted a new native version of its marketing automation application for Dynamics CRM 2011 this summer. Known as inDynamics because of its native email and web analytics features, SalesFUSION's unique approach on integrating marketing and sales for Microsoft CRM brings the power and feature set of an enterprise app inside the Dynamics CRM framework.

SalesFUSION recently announced that over 110 companies are actively using its marketing automation platform with Dynamics 4.0 and CRM 2011. In addition to direct customers, SalesFUSION boasts over 45 Microsoft Channel Partners actively selling and supporting SalesFUSION.

Said Kevin Miller, EVP Marketing, SalesFUSION: "We have been successfully integrating marketing automation into Microsoft CRM now since February, 2009. In that time, and through a lot of work with our client's marketing and sales teams, have developed a strategy wherein companies can have their cake and eat it too so to speak. For companies whose primary goal is to have the bulk of information reside natively inside CRM 2011, we have accomplished that with inDyanmics and our custom entities for marketing automation. However, building an app that exists only inside of CRM is very restrictive and we've found frustration on the part of marketers who are being force to learn workflow to do simple things like drip and nurture email campaigns. SalesFUSION has pre-build drip and nurture designers in the app that CRM users can continue to leverage directly, or stick to the basic bulk email inside of dynamics. I think we're completely unique from CRM-SDK based vendors, who only exist inside of CRM and Marketing Automation vendors who only offer basic API-level access."

The SalesFUSION integration for Dynamics CRM is offered for both 4.0 and CRM 2011 versions via all deployment types. The new inDynamics features custom entities that are downloaded inside of Microsoft CRM 2011 and facilitate the placement of relevant marketing data and history in a manner that is easy to access and simple to report on and run workflow off of for the CRM administrators.
