Microsoft Dynamics News & Articles

Now that the December 2012 Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online update has rolled out, more features are being added like iPad and Yammer integrations.

Microsoft has launched its Dynamics AX 2012 R2 system for integrating business systems in the manufacturing, retail, distribution, service and public sector industries.

This week we’re still waiting for a proper look at Office 15, Dynamics CRM gets a new document capture tool, Sharegate offers economical SharePoint content migration, Colligo builds a fortune around SharePoint, and Doo goes on general release.

Earlier this month we pointed out that Yammer has moved past basic social networking and into primary productivity tool territory. But that news was nothing compared to its latest announcement -- universal search.

Each Web Content Management (WCM) platform has a sweet spot and making the right technology decision really depends on what is at the heart of your online business model. Understanding the business model for your website is fundamental in understanding whether Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is the right WCM platform for you.

A final look at SAP’s (news, site) Hanover CeBit show that has finished this week comes from the Sales OnDemand application, due to be put on general release  by the middle of the year -- and which might be able to give Salesforce CRM and Microsoft Dynamics a good run for their money.

Microsoft is still teasing the market with its Dynamics releases. This time, it’s the announcement that it will be releasing a technical preview of its enterprise resource planning software (ERP) at the beginning of February, with a full release scheduled for the third quarter of this year.

The slow drip feed of information about the release of Microsoft Dynamics SL 2011 ERP has started with Microsoft (news, site) announcing that it will be released in English in the US and Canada in the second quarter of next year.

While it may be arguable that CRM systems were never meant for document management, it cannot be argued that a good deal of customer interaction is document-based. And this probably the reason that Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Motive’s document management system have been integrated.

Last year, adxstudio (news, site) released a number of extensions for Microsoft Dynamics that beefed up the Customer Relationship Management application. Microsoft must have been impressed because now it has included xRM web portals into its Dynamic CRM Software Development Kit (SDK).

Web Content Management and Customer Relationship Management go hand-in-hand. At the least they are complementary. So says ADXSTUDIO. Their latest release of ADXSTUDIO xRM Extensions v2.1 includes a complete web content management system for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

TenDigits Software, provider of mobility solutions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, recently had a lot to say. In addition to the announcement of a cool new mobile alerts capability called Smart Actionable Alerts, the company also released version 4.5 of their flagship product, MobileAccess.

Smart Actionable Alerts is a different approach to automating notifications and facilitating productive responses, while MobileAccess 4.5 includes new features like the ability to upload images, GPS coordinates, or any file from your BlackBerry to Dynamics CRM.

At this year’s Convergence conference, ADXSTUDIO jazzed up Customer Relationship Management (CRM) by announcing some fancy extension work from its anything-goes counterpart, XRM.

The extensions include a Developer Toolkit and portal management modules designed to beef up the functionality of Microsoft Dynamics.
