For IT-decision makers who face a wide variety of business application and process automation needs across business groups and departments, xRM is an application platform layer that accelerates the development of relational Line-of-Business (LOB) applications.

Unlike other software and/or services alternatives, xRM helps IT build, deploy and manage multiple LOB applications, reducing significant infrastructure, resource, and business IP duplication. xRM-based applications are unlike packaged applications in that they can be customized to fit highly specialized needs and unlike custom built applications in that they can be deployed rapidly and cost-effectively. xRM LOB applications work like, and with, other familiar Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Office (e.g. Outlook, Excel, Word), Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Microsoft SQL Server and .NET . 

Dynamics xRM Benefits

xRM is a business application platform layer that sits on top of – and leverages the power of – the Microsoft Application Platform technology building blocks (Windows, SQL Server, .NET, and Office) and is designed to significantly accelerate the creation of enterprise-class relational business applications by providing IT professionals with reusable ‘application services’ that can be rapidly adapted to fit the unique needs of users and businesses. Key value includes:

• Familiar Microsoft technologies increases user adoption and give end-users a consistent experience across all LOB applications (Office/Outlook) and provide IT professionals with technology they know (SQL Server, Windows, .NET).
• Power of choice ensures organizations get and use xRM the way they need it. Whether it is on-premise or on-demand, subscription or license, Outlook or web, the power of choice ensures it fits customers’ environment and budget.
• Enterprise-class capabilities through highly scalable multi-tenancy for efficient management of multiple large-scale LOB applications in a single environment.
• Reduced time to deploy with point & click customization allowing each LOB application to be completely built (relational data model, process automation, user experience…) and maintained through a point & click interface, whilst fully extendable with bespoke .NET .
• Reduced Risk with a predictable proven platform with many existing customer examples capitalizing on commercial ‘Off the Shelf’ software platform and taking advantage of a defined product development roadmap.
