Questions tagged [dynamics-crm-2011]

Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a multi-lingual Customer Relationship Management software package developed by Microsoft. Out of the box, the product focuses mainly on Sales, Marketing, and Service (help desk) sectors, but Microsoft has been marketing Dynamics CRM as an XRM platform and has been encouraging partners to use its proprietary (.NET based) framework to customize it to meet many different demands.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 (version 5) is a major update of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. Its key focus is sales, marketing, and service. However, it is highly customizable using both client-side JavaScript or server-side .NET code.

Dynamics CRM 2011 introduced a drastic update of the server-side as well as client-side API's.

Major competitors to Dynamics CRM include SalesForce, SAP CRM and Oracle PeopleSoft CRM.

The Microsoft offering can be hosted on-premise by organizations, hosted in the public Microsoft Azure cloud for a fixed monthly fee, or hosted by a Microsoft Partner. This flexibility lets companies change their deployment strategy as their business needs change whilst utilizing a single organization.

End-users access Microsoft CRM in one of three ways:

  • Via a web browser - The currently supported browsers include Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, FireFox, and Chrome (on Windows XP or later) and Safari (on Mac OS X 10.7 or later) and Chrome. Non-IE browsers require the installation of Rollup 12 which was released in Q1 2013 for online version and is planned for Q3 2013 for on-premise.
  • Using a native Microsoft Outlook plugin
  • Using a mobile device with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Mobile (MS-cloud hosted only) or third-party applications such as CWR Mobility

Questions asked about Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 typically include those around configuration, client-side customization (eg forms, views, charts & dashboards, etc), deployment, or server-side development (workflow assemblies, plugins etc).
