Great CRM sessions at WPC 2008

If you are attending Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2008 I would recommend you attend the following sessions to learn more about the benefits of building solutions on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and perhaps even get inspiration from some of the solutions that will be presented.

Attend this session to more deeply understand the market opportunity and how to design, develop, and go to market with industry and vertical solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM. 

While there wll be a number of cool solutions shown, one in particular caught my attention as I had built something similar (nowhere near as cool though!) in ASP.NET way back on Microsoft CRM 1.2. This solution from Mondo uses Silverlight to deliver a visual representation of the workflow processes linked to your records in Microsoft Dynamics CRM and can be used to help drive adoption of a company wide sales process such as Solution Selling. Looking at this solution from Mondo should really give you an idea of what can be achieved when you link the power of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 with Silverlight and maybe even take you in new directions with your own future solutions.

 Thanks to Nikhil Hasija on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM product team for giving us the opportunity to see previews of the ISV solutions that will be shown.

See you at DYN007 and DYN010!!
