Why Dynamics CRM?

Microsoft, being a Siebel user, experienced first-hand the mistakes made by the first generation of CRM software developers. The main mistake was that they were far too difficult and confusing for most users. Even though fortunes were spent on implementing such systems they met huge resistance within the workplace, hence for many organisations these implementations were a costly failure.

As a result Microsoft Dynamics CRM, which was written from the ground up as their flagship .Net 2.0 application, was designed with the key goal of being easy to use and thus gaining high user adoption and satisfaction.
