Business Applications
with David Yack, CTO of Colorado Technology

| |
|
| |
Microsoft Dynamics CRM
4.0 just released and provides capabilities to be the foundation for
building line of business applications
and save you a ton of time! |
| |
|
|
In this talk we will explore CRM as an application development
platform not just a CRM package.
We’ll see how it’s declarative data modeling, security
model, dynamic SOA Service creation and more can be leveraged. We
will look at how it uses SQL Server Reporting, Analysis Services for
Analytics, Windows Workflow Foundation for process automation and
more. See demos of how you can build your applications on top of it,
integrate with it or simply extend it using ASP.NET, Sharepoint,
SilverLight, Virtual Earth, Custom Workflow Activities, Mobile and
more.
The choice is yours -- build it from scratch or come see
this talk! |
