Microsoft Dynamics CRM v4 (xRM in disguise)

June 18, 2008

Having had detailed involvement with Microsoft’s CRM offering since the earlier adopter programme with version 1.0 then 1.2 (which nearly killed me and a number of my colleagues), then with great relief v3 (which gave many the will to keep going) and now v4 which is (IMHO) the best xRM-able product in the mid market space, I have watched with great interest and career investment the gradual repositioning of the product from a contact manager to a sales, service and marketing process enabler, to what is now a platform that is capable of being used as an application environment.  Still some way to go but the C in Dynamics CRM is slowly fading – in the marketing message and the logo!

My tip:  Version 5 to be named Dynamics xRM…
