In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, duplicate detection will help ensure accurate data in your database by identifying and preventing identical or similar records. It is important to have clean, reliable data in your system. There are 3 one-time tasks to set up duplicate detection in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.

In today’s fast-paced business world, it is imperative your organization’s software works for you instead of you working for it.  Leading companies in the 21^st century use automated processes to stay organized and up-to-date. Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and the staffing software solution 1Staff allow you to leverage the powerful Microsoft platform and automate specific, intricate business processes by utilizing Dynamics CRM 2011 workflows. These workflows can be simple or complex and can cater to specific needs within your organization.

After the first two posts in the series, Staffing Software Built to Fit Canadian Staffing Agencies and Staffing Software Solutions: Best-of-Breed Approach including Canadian Payroll, we will turn our focus to an end-to-end staffing software solution based on Microsoft Dynamics. Microsoft invests a lot of time and effort to ensure their Dynamics products work well in Canada and we build our staffing and recruiting software right into Microsoft Dynamics, taking full advantage of that investment. 

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 offers countless time saving features inside the application. Bulk edits and creating email templates are the next two time saving tips in this Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 blog series.

This blog post will focus on Canadian best-of-breed solutions for staffing and recruitment companies. I was also going to adhere to Canadian Content rules and talk about something like the NHL playoffs, but unless you are a Vancouver fan that topic is probably best left unmentioned. I must say having a team back in Winnipeg does make the world a better place. I never fully recovered as an NHL fan after the Northstars left Minnesota for Dallas. The Minnesota Wild are even one of Professional Advantage’s customers (and hooked us up with some meet and greet passes for Rush when they played in St. Paul), but watching their games just isn’t the same as seeing Willi Plett line up against Al Secord back in the day.

In just a few weeks (May 2-4), we are sponsoring the Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services (ACSESS) conference in Niagara Falls, so I volunteered to write a few blog posts before the show. I spent a year living in Toronto as a Microsoft Dynamics ERP consultant/developer, and Canada has provided me with many meaningful experiences over the years. I couldn’t figure a way to work Waterton Lakes National Park, The Tragically Hip, and Quebec City (among many other things) into the same post.

We are proud to announce over 10 of our customers were awarded a place in Inavero’s 2012 Best of Staffing Client List. This list recognizes the top 1% of staffing firms in the nation who earn notable distinction from their clients.
