xRM. One Platform, Many Applications

Brent Sordyl — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:00:05 +0000

xRM (Anything Relationship Management) is the natural evolution of CRM (Customer Relationship Management). In today’s dynamic business environment companies demand the ability to manage anything (X=anything), not simply relationships with customers. Microsoft CRM sits on the .NET platform and because of that, it is much more than a traditional CRM product. Instead, a better way to think of Microsoft CRM is as a rapid development application with out of the box CRM functionality, capable of instantly leveraging the .NET platform, and a vast array of Microsoft applications.

The purpose of xRM.com is to provide you with valuable information on Microsoft CRM and the .NET platform, and to show you how they can best be leveraged in the day-to-day running of your business. At xRM.com we believe that Education, Platform selection, Strategy, and leveraging the Microsoft choice model are the keys to success.
