At The Wildlife Experience, an interactive museum dedicated to natural habitats, one environment that was a bit too wild was its own email service. When it came time to replace the unreliable and difficult-to-manage service, the museum adopted the Microsoft business productivity Online Standard Suite. Now, museum personnel save up to two hours per week and are more effective while away from the museum. Email traffic has shrunk by 35 percent. Reliability has increased by 80 percent. Account provisioning time has been reduced from days to minutes. These and other efficiencies make it possible for the two-person IT staff to manage the expanding environment without additional personnel. By adopting the service, the museum avoided an estimated U.S.$30,000 capital outlay for its own infrastructure, as well as 92 percent of the annual operating expenses for a self-hosted system.

Wireless Extenders is a leading provider of cell phone signal boosters. Prior to July 2010, the company maintained its IT infrastructure primarily on-premises, on a single server. Communication and collaboration tools were limited, yet the server still required significant system administration. Wireless Extenders decided to move to the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite—a hosted communication and collaboration solution that helps companies improve business productivity, without the need to maintain a complex IT infrastructure. With help from InLigo, Wireless Extenders made the move to Business Productivity Online in a weekend—and it is now benefiting from improved communication, collaboration, and productivity; reduced IT effort; improved reliability and security; a 44 percent cost savings over the next three years; and the support of a strong local partner.

The responsible project managers are able to control workforce management efficiently. Customers confirm a tremendous growth of capacity utilization between 65% and 80% per employee. Therefore the revenue per employee also grows about 15% whereas the costs are nearly stable. Cross and up-selling revenue raises between 80% and 110% according to our customers.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 in addition with proRM combines all business related activities and therefore gives the business 100% clarity in terms of project forecast and project cycle control.

Following the solution logics and usability our clients benefit from a strong cost reduction, a high increase on business productivity and a tremendous raise of their revenue.
The complete program code is based on Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
