A Better Way to Accelerate Application Development

To achieve strategic and competitive advantage, the most successful businesses use their unique business processes, supported by line-of-business (LOB) applications. As a consequence, a packaged application or commercial-off-the-shelf software (or COTS) with predefined business processes often is simply not adequate. There are also many cases where a COTS application is simply not available for your unique requirements, leaving custom development as your only option.

The xRM business applications framework of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Platform represents a more structured and cost-effective way to meet a business’ needs. By using the xRM platform to develop your line-of-business applications, a company spends less time building ‘plumbing’, and more time building ‘value added functionality’ that generates and sustains their competitive advantage.

Advantages of Using the xRM Business Applications Framework of Microsoft Dynamics CRM

The value and benefits of using the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform include:

1. Reduced risk – Every IT project carries some risk of failure. xRM enables highly flexible development, which helps reduce these risk by streamlining application delivery, so your organisation can start achieving positive value faster.
2. Reduced Development Time – Custom application development is often complex and lengthy process. Through pre-built capabilities included in xRM, and reductions in the time and complexity of development projects, LOB applications free valuable development resources to work on other projects, and reduce the initial cost of the application.
3. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership – By providing applications that can be created, managed and upgraded using shared resource, xRM helps to reduce the total cost of ownership.
4. Improved Productivity – The familiar interface and building blocks of LOB applications built on xRM, including Microsoft Office, Outlook SQL Service, .NET and Windows, helps recue training times, and improve productivity across the organisation.
5. Increased Business Agility – The business environment is constantly changing. xRM provides an application platform that can be adapted and extended to create many unique LOB applications, which can be updated quickly when business requirements change.
6. Maximisation of Investment – Through seamless integration with Microsoft products and technologies already in use, xRM helps organisations to maximise their return-on-investment.

The Shift Towards Application Platforms

The business world looks for cost-effective, scalable and timely business solutions. The benefits and advantages provided by application platforms like Microsoft Dynamics CRM mean that Forrester Research estimates that approximately 75 per cent of IT leaders are anticipating a shift from bespoke application development to application platforms, to develop their line-of-business applications.

Organisations are converging what were once disparate, standalone applications and systems into an integrated, unified application platform to realise lower total cost of ownership, and increasingly efficient and agile IT.
