But the most fashioned crazed or possible fashion obsessed has been what to do about ‘the cloud’ or should that be ‘The Cloud’? More...

Is Dynamics CRM Live better than Dynamics CRM?
I am currently facing the biggest challenge I ever face in any CRM implementation, that of end user take up. I am never quite sure of what happens between when the managers of an organisation take the decision to take up a CRM platform and the actual time it is delivered to those who are actually meant to be using it.

Selling Dynamics CRM
October 2009
A colleague and I are currently assisting a UK VAR in the pursuit of new installations, they have been tasked by Microsoft or at least that is the claim they are making to us that they need to move into new sectors of industries they have no prior experience of in order to gain a foothold in new markets. So we are leading the vanguard. As much I am sure this is right I have noticed a couple of things that I am not sure are that helpful. More...

The Benefit of Add-ons
September2009
What are the benefits of add-ons? I have recently been working with a new functional consultant who has joined us from the US,where she has been a revelation for us. The main revelation has been her use of real time development to over come issues which arise, as opposed to our more basic UK passion for the use of add-ons. The start of my enlightenment came when the client decided that there is not an adequate report writing capability withinAX 2009. More...
Why Choose Microsoft Dynamics CRM
September 2009
In most small to medium sized businesses, the glass panel in the wall of the director's office generally overlooks the sales floor, the most important report is the current sales report, and the biggest concern is the sales pipeline.

DynamicsAX 2009 Upgrade.
August2009 - Written by Callum Murray
One of the biggest reasons to upgrade to Dynamics AX 2009 was that after its release the end user had the ability to support the Windows Server 2008 operating system and the SQL Server 2008 database, the idea behind this was that running the new code on the newer operating system and database will boost performance for many parts of the Dynamics AX stack by as much as 70 percent compared to prior AX, Windows, and SQL Server releases.
