SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE
DefenseReady's Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform is based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) with complete
support for web services. Having a SOA base allows DefenseReady to easily and efficiently integrate with other
applications. Data can be queried and updated using the web services layer, allowing for compatibility with legacy
applications.
POINT AND CLICK WORKFLOW
DefenseReady can support every unique process that your organization has because it leverages Microsoft Dynamics
CRM's powerful workflow engine. Your business processes can be as simple or as complex as your organizational needs, while
their execution is reliable and consistent.
ROLE-BASED SECURITY
Keep your data secure by defining what parts of the software each employee can access and use. The system administrator
can specify which parts of the application each employee can use, down to a very granular level.
AD HOC QUERIES AND REPORTING
DefenseReady allows users to find answers to daily questions faster and to analyze business performance more
easily with flexible reporting tools. Real-time query tools allow users to search for specific information, so important
command data is only a click away through simple point-and-click tools. For more advanced reporting, the platform
leverages the full power of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), which provides a highly-scalable server-based
platform for reporting and analysis.
AUDITING
DefenseReady has a built-in auditing feature which allows for greater accountability and tracking. This tool
tracks individual changes to fields in the system and records which user executed the change. The tool is configurable
and can be applied to specific sets of data.
DUPLICATE DETECTION
Having one central repository for information helps reduce duplicate entries and the potential for error. In addition,
users benefit from duplicate detection, which is feature of the platform on which DefenseReady is built.
OFFICE INTEGRATION
DefenseReady's Microsoft platform automatically integrates with the Office suite of applications,
such as Excel, Word, and Outlook. Now users can perform daily functions from within these applications.
MOBILE AND OFFLINE
Thanks to offline data access and mobility options, users can access important data and keep the mission
up-to-date even when they are away from their workstations. Offline data access allows users to work
locally on their laptops, then lets them upload the latest data when they have connectivity. For
DefenseReady's platform, there are expanded mobility options available through third-party vendors.
These options allow access to data via hand-held devices, such as a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile device
(additional software purchases may be required).
