CRM re-platforming drives global sales alignment for a European asset manager

Client Challenges

A European asset manager’s Microsoft Dynamics CRM had drifted out of alignment with business needs through years of tactical customization. User adoption had declined and management lacked the insight needed for effective decision-making. The company engaged Alpha to assess, redesign and implement a fit-for-purpose CRM platform.

Alpha structured the engagement across three phases spanning 10 months: a CRM health check, design of target capabilities, and full implementation. Using proprietary CRM accelerators and asset management market best practices, Alpha ran workshops with sales and leadership teams across key capability areas including account management, opportunity management and client service. Alpha delivered business requirements and user stories before leading implementation as PMO, BA and design authority, coordinating the company’s IT partner throughout. The result was a rebuilt CRM platform that unified global sales practices and gave leadership actionable distribution insights.
