Paul Greenberg has posted a great blog entry about the amazing power of Dynamics CRM as a platform. Paul does a great job of explaining how five different companies were able to develop applications on top of Dynamics CRM in just five days. He was clearly blown away.

The research giants Forrester and Gartner have also stepped up their praise. Forrester has given Dynamics CRM very high rankings (above Salesforce.com) for the midmarket and enterprise and Gartner has ranked Dynamics CRM highly (above Salesforce) in its magic quadrant for contact centers.

Dell has acquired my employer Allin Consulting, a Microsoft Gold Partner and Microsoft Northwest Partner of the Year for 2008. Through the acquisition, Dell has expanded its consulting capabilities and now offers customers complete solutions from hardware to unified communications, collaboration, business intelligence, and business software – including Dynamics CRM.

Dell is committed to simplify IT. By offering customers complete solutions on the Microsoft platform with the promise of excellence and efficiency inherent in the Dell brand, customers gain the simplicity of a single vendor for hardware, software, and service.
