Custom Dynamics CRM Development
Custom
Reports and Unique Functionality Built to Your Needs
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a as much a development platform as it is
a CRM product. Most Dynamics CRM users don't need any additional
functionality that can't be found in the option products that
DynamicsCenter represents on this site. The Microsoft SQL Reporting
Services environment utilized in Dynamics CRM supports most
reporting needs . . . although custom reports is a high request.
Unique report and
functionality needs are where DynamicsCenter's packaged Custom Development
Services can step in to add analysis and improve operations
- and therefore the ROI on your CRM.
For a small percentage of the cost of a CRM project,
DynamicsCenter's custom report and functionality development
packaged services can
make the difference between a small gain and a BIG gain in the
return on your CRM initiative.
DynamicsCenter
can fill the gap in your project in just a few days and within your
budget!
DynamicsCenter has efficient
low-cost development resources that work exclusively on custom
Dynamics CRM reports and functionality.
DynamicsCenter's custom CRM development conforms to the guidelines of development for Dynamics CRM called
the CRM Software Development Kit (SDK) to ensure compatibility with
current and future Microsoft product changes.
DynamicsCenter offers a unique type of low cost development that
utilizes some custom Microsoft Office integration tools offered by
Microsoft in tool sets called SNAPs that are ideal for CRM-data
based document generation like proposals or custom executive
analysis dash-boards. This type of development is offered as a
service line-item below.
Custom
development projects always start with the creation of a 5-8 page
specification document describing the custom report or custom
functionality needed, as well as the solution architecture to be
used, a mock-up, and development cycle time. This document is a
collaboration between you the client, an assigned senior consultant
experienced in business process and CRM technology, and the
development team. An example custom specification:
A
specification is iterated in brief client meetings and revision by
DynamicsCenter until the you the client are satisfied. Total
development hours and completed solution cost are specified in this
approved document.
Throughout the process the work is demonstrated and tested first in
a demonstration environment and then in the client's environment
until final approval. For our hourly rates, to order a custom report
or custom functionality specification, a block of development time,

the Tools and Process Page
and the reference to times and costs are for the specific
development line-itemed services on this page. These line-items
represent a packaged and systematized process-driven service
offering at low cost for those engagements and client needs where
this fits. Many client needs require more time with a senior
consultant, direct communication with the development department,
project planning, and other professional enterprise software
implementation services. These more traditional professional
services are described in service line-items in our
Implementation & Support
area and serve a wider scope and a different rate structure
competitively in-line with these industry services.
DynamicsCenter

with the leading professional developers in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM community
for your in-house development needs or projects utilizing a
combination of your in-house and DynamicsCenter's resources.
