Experlogix Parametric Configurator to Run Offline with Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Experlogix Offline enables traveling reps to create complex opportunities, quotes and orders without a network connection

SANTA BARBARA, CA – February 19, 2007 – Experlogix, Inc., the leading developer of web-based product configurator solutions for the Microsoft Dynamics platform, announced today that its parametric configurator is now available for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 in an offline mode.

Experlogix Offline enables Microsoft CRM 3.0 users to configure Opportunities, Quotes and Orders from the Microsoft CRM Outlook Laptop Client while offline and disconnected from the Microsoft CRM server.

“Our customers and partners requested the ability to use our product configurator with Microsoft CRM while traveling - untethered from their network. With Experlogix Offline, mobile Microsoft CRM users can build complex proposals offline and synchronize when a network connection becomes available,” says Jeff Holway, Director of Sales and Marketing, Experlogix. “This solution increases sales rep productivity and improves CRM user adoption.”

“Typically, product options, rules and their associated pricing are in separate systems – or worse, in paper catalogs,” continues Holway. “This increases the time it takes to create quotes and typically results in order errors. Our configurator makes the product options and pricing process a seamless, real-time capability within Microsoft CRM, increasing order volumes and improving order accuracy. This not only translates to better profitability but also improves customer service and customer loyalty.”

Experlogix customer RuggedCom, (Markham, Ontario), provides Experlogix Offline to their traveling sales executives.

“We can now use Microsoft CRM and Experlogix Configurator anytime, anywhere. Traveling sales reps can easily synchronize opportunities and quotes back to our CRM server. It provides management excellent visibility into what is happening in the field and gives our sales people the choice of using Microsoft CRM and Experlogix from the road in an offline synchronization mode or from any web browser,” says Clive Diaz, VP Operations, RuggedCom.

Experlogix offers its solutions through a worldwide network of authorized partners.

“Experlogix's Offine provides our customers the competitive advantage of quoting and complex configurations without being tethered to an internet connection.” says Rick Benson, CRM Practice Lead, BroadPoint Technologies, an authorized Experlogix partner and Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.
