The new year has started with lots of exciting projects here at AlfaPeople, and many many ideas for cool stuff that we want to do during this year around Microsoft Dynamics CRM. I’ve had also the honour of being renewed as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional on Dynamics CRM again, making this the third year in a row. Which for me is pretty exciting and challenging at the same time. I just hope to make me deserve it again.
Last Months I’ve been quite busy working with Microsoft EMEA to prepare a very special training offering for ISVs to discover Microsoft Dynamics as Platform. It consist in two days deep technical training to discover the capacities that Microsoft Dynamics CRM brings for ISVs to build solutions and products on top of it.
During this two day we cover all the topics about customisation and extension of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform, and also, the solution packaging which is the most interesting part for ISVs. The part that I like the most from these two days training is that during the labs the attendees build a whole Hospital Management solution using CRM as an application platform.
Ok, it’s not a huge and comprehensive solution, but for two days is quite cool. It includes custom entities to manage patients and medical records, some callout and workflows to streamline business processes like the assignation of a room to a patient, pieces of custom UI and some navigation customisation of course. However, the most interesting piece is that at the end of the labs we build a installer for the solution and make it ready to distribute. I mean, we packet all the customisations and extension in a msi (setup) file that you could even sell :)
So, if you are planning on building an ISV solution and you are interested on what the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform can offer do not hesitate to participate on one of this events.
