  • Forum Post: Re: Making heads and tails och services, etc in CRM 4.0?

    In my experience, contracts is one of the least used parts of CRM. If you are not specifying time allocations or numbers of cases beforehand, I don't think you need to be overly concerned with contracts. Service activities are great for companies which have well-defined services which go for well...
  • Forum Post: Re: Sales process from Leads to ....

    I would use the same lead record and only disqualify it when they directly say they are not interested. If you send an email and hear nothing, they are ripe for a resend. So leads would fall into one of three categories. Closed and converted, closed and disqualified, and open. You can go to an open lead...

    If you have the requirements and a fair idea of their current business processes, the next step is to work out how CRM fits into this. If you don't have it already, download the demo VPC and user's guide from Microsoft downloads. Once you have this you can work out where the gaps are and how...

  • Forum Post: Re: Data Out of Range Error while adding new CRM user

    Best guess is that you have too many characters in one of your fields. Name too long, etc. You can look at the entity attributes for the systemuser entity to see what the allowed lengths are and that might help. You could also try enabling tracing to find the cause. You can download the 3.0 Debug...

    You'll need to get some more information in order to address this. First, on the CRM server check the application event logs to see if it is providing any information about the error.

    Yes it does. I've worked on systems with Japanese and Chinese and it worked without a problem. There is one inconvenience in that name sorting is assumed to be off the second name (the western surname). This is not always appropriate given the traditional Chinese name is written with the family...
