Our Company Want to upgrade CRM 2011 to D365 9.0 . Can you please help us the way how do this step by step. it is better if you have video of this activity. As I understand it should start from CRM 2011 to CRM 2013 and gradually be updated to CRM D365. What are the challenges which might faced?
Also want to understand, detailed information on the feature comparison-both technical( such as SDK updates, deprecated functions) and functional (enhanced business rules,calculated fields etc) between Dynamics CRM 2011, CRM 2013, CRM 2015 and CRM 2016/Dynamics 365 ?
Please help.
Thanks,
Bijjam
There are 2 main options:
Normally option 1 is easier, but option 2 gives the opportunity to decide if there are features or data that you don't want to keep, and also to change customisations to make use of the new features since CRM 2011.
For the upgrade approach, the main potential issue is the first upgrade (to CRM 2013), as this is where you'll find out if you have any customisations or extensions that use the CRM 4.0 features, as these are supported in CRM 2011, but not beyond. We have also had some issues with the last step, to CRM 9.0, which Microsoft have not fully resolved. Most of the other steps tend to be fairly smooth. To allow for testing, and potential rollbacks, it is best to have multiple servers (and associated SQL instances); ideally one per CRM version, though you can upgrade in place as you go through the versions
