Accelerators and Solutions For MS Dynamics CRM Software
Posted by Bill Goulette on Thu, Jun 16, 2011
Many customers have asked the question during the inception of a project, “Do you mean to tell me that no one else has done <fill in the blank> with CRM software before?”. This is usually around some piece of functionality that they deem as “common” across organizations. While there are many fine 3rd party solutions on the market, the budget isn’t always there. Furthermore, once third party solutions are incorporated, the upgrade path becomes murky and often difficult. This is even true when moving from one hotfix to another. Therefore, finding a solution that is most closely aligned with native Dynamics CRM software is very important to keeping your system easily supportable. There are CRM softwares that are well aligned with CRM and are offered at no charge for the solution. These are called Accelerators for CRM software. These can be found at http://crmaccelerators.codeplex.com/ and are free to download. Check them out and see which ones look like they will work for you.
Once you have built your system with these accelerators, you will be able to package these up and distribute them using a new feature called Solutions. This allows you to put together the various components, both new and out-of-the-box, into a collection for export and re-use in another instance of CRM. This allows you to easily port configuration to other CRM environments without the need for special development tools.
