xRM Framework

Dynamics xRM – One Platform, Many Applications

Dynamics xRM is not a product; it is a strategic approach to building a unified system that connects all aspects of a business together. It is a rapid application development framework that brings together the best aspects of the application platform approach and custom solution development; offering solution builders a strong foundation on which to build sustainable line of business applications. Dynamics XRM has opened the traditional view of Dynamics CRM to encompass the concept of “Everything”(X) Relationship Management.

Key Technologies of Dynamics xRM

Dynamics xRM depends on extensibility of the CRM platform on which it is built. Microsoft Dynamics® CRM currently provides the most powerful xRM platform available because of the Microsoft® .NET Framework that underlies it. Companies can typically achieve 80% of their business requirements using Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The .Net Framework, meanwhile, provides a common architecture that software developers can use to build custom line-of-business (LOB) applications that supply the remaining 20% of a company’s requirements quickly and economically.
