Donde esta XRM?? (Where is XRM?)

by David M. Smith  |  November 18, 2009  |  Comments Off

After I just posted my previous entry titled Silverlight Steals the Show! I realized i had also buried the XRM non-news. So I was guilty of burying it almost as much as Microsoft is. So below is the last paragraph from the post, highlighting the non-news. Don’t get too non-excited about the non-news…

XRM is the underlying platform technology underneath Dynamics CRM Online.  It is analogous to force.com’s origin underneath the Salesforce.com app.  Other than a brief mention of it as something that can work with Sharepoint and one session at the very bitter end of the conference, XRM was missing in action.  It is one of the more silent  but promising pieces of  Microsoft’s cloud technology. XRM is Microsoft’s only fully multitenant application platform as a service technology that runs on and off premises).  I waited until the end of the day 2 keynote to write this to make sure but for now it looks like it will continue to remain as such for a while longer.
