IT Strategy for Midsize Business: Microsoft vs. Java, Great Plains & CRM
Midsize business or non-profit organization should decide if one-vendor solution would be appropriate and the associated risk acceptable. In our opinion, balancing the risk of one-vendor-approach is not economically feasible and should be avoided. This means that you need to decide if you plan to be Microsoft-oriented or Java/Unix/Linux/Oracle oriented. In the case of Java direction ' you again have to further consider your options and if possible do not deploy too many systems from different vendors. Even if you host your systems with somebody else ' we think that in the future you might have a risk of complex data conversion from one system to another.

Use Microsoft CRM Sales module. ? Servicing. If you would like to avoid tame wasting when your service and sales people are talking to each other and have long meetings to fulfill customer order, you have to organize them around CRM Service module: Contract, Case, Activity, workflow and assignments to service technicians, plus email to/from your customers should be captured in MS CRM ?

It is open technology ' you can download MS CRM SDK and have anyone with C#/VB.Net skills do the job.

Integration. If you have something else, besides Microsoft CRM and Great Plains, then you might need the integration.
