Microsoft Sales Productivity: Moving toward the Dark Cockpit

On October 8, 2014, Microsoft Dynamics announced a new offering that packages Dynamics CRM Online, Office 365, and Power BI in a single sales productivity solution. Priced at $65 per user per month, Sales Productivity is designed for the modern sales force automation (SFA) model which is about making individuals more productive instead of just entering data. In looking at this new offering, Nucleus found it leverages the power of the Microsoft portfolio to embrace the themes of Dark Cockpit by simplifying, automating, and focusing sales activities to increase productivity and, ultimately, results.
