xRM (Anything Relationship Management)

Catherine Eibner

xRM is the natural evolution of CRM. Businesses are expanding their use of new generation CRM

solutions to manage a wider range of scenarios, including asset management, prospect

management, citizen management, and many more. Microsoft CRM sits on the .NET platform and

because of that, it is much more than a traditional CRM product. Instead, think of Microsoft CRM is

as a rapid development application with out of the box CRM functionality. The purpose of this

session is to better understand Microsoft's CRM strategy and how you get to market first with world

class business solutions.
