Microsoft Dynamics CRM offers several advantages over Salesforce.com including better integration with Microsoft products like Outlook through native Outlook functionality. It also includes a financially backed 99.9% uptime SLA and has deployment options of online, on-premise, or partner hosted. Additionally, it has lower costs starting at $44 per user per month compared to Salesforce starting at $65 and includes mobile access at no extra cost unlike Salesforce.
This document provides an overview comparing SugarCRM and Microsoft Dynamics. It outlines the key strengths and cautions of each platform according to Gartner reviews. SugarCRM is recognized for its strengths in mobile, UI, and social technologies while Microsoft Dynamics has increased investment in other Microsoft products and a common data model with its on-premises offering. However, Microsoft Dynamics has limitations in flexible reporting online and lacks a development sandbox. The document also highlights differences between the platforms in terms of innovation, value, flexibility, and culture. It promotes SugarCRM's platform agnosticism, single pricing, and open community compared to Microsoft Dynamics' Windows focus and additional hidden fees.
This document discusses key concepts related to services, facilities, equipment, contracts, cases, and knowledge base articles in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It defines services as schedulable activities performed for customers. Facilities and equipment are physical resources that can be scheduled. Contracts define support agreements for cases, hours, or time periods. Cases track customer issues and their resolution. The knowledge base stores helpful articles that customer service can access.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs).

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

3. Introduction
In a socially connected, always-on world, it has never been more important for
companies to deliver differentiated and compelling customer experiences. Microsoft
Dynamics CRM is helping companies do just that. With a reimagined user experience
that is simple and intuitive, actionable intelligence at their fingertips, and a pervasive
connection to the people and resources they need, Microsoft Dynamics CRM makes
work personal by helping people across sales, marketing, and customer care teams
reignite the passion they feel for their jobs so they can deliver amazing customer
experiences.
With a commitment to an agile release cycle, there are currently several releases in
planning and development. The next release is Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 (onpremises) & Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall ’13 (Online) followed by releases
code-named “Leo” and “Vega.”
Charter
Our charter is to reimagine the
business application experience
and drive innovation. In so doing
Microsoft is the strongest unifier
of Microsoft technologies in the
business applications space and
specifically CRM. We reinforce
our charter by adhering to the
following principles: proactivity,
productivity, ubiquity, and
flexibility. These principles guide
our investments.

4. Investment Areas
Microsoft Dynamics CRM is investing in capabilities that deliver modern, familiar and compelling
user experiences. Our key focus is user adoption: building applications and experiences where users
recognize value, opportunity and insight immediately — either on the road or in the office.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall ’13 are focused on delivering a
business application that delights users through experiences that are modern, seamless and device
optimized. To deliver upon this expectation we have focused this release around the following themes:
This document is organized to highlight the exciting innovations and capabilities across these themes
included in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall ’13.

5. Key Investment Overview
The following topics summarize the investments that will be delivered in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013
and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Fall ’13.
Reimagined User Experience
With an entirely new user experience, Microsoft Dynamics CRM allows you to view everything you
need in one spot – fast and fluid, and relevant to the work at hand. No pop -ups. No flipping from
one application to the next. What you need, where you need it. Get in, get going and get done.
So you can focus on what is most important – your customers.

6. It’s all about efficiency
We’ve designed the new form with productivity in mind by presenting key business data and
related activities in a style that maps to the way that people actually work. The new user
experience organizes information in a clean, consistent and easy-to-access manner. By giving you
all the information you need at one time, you don’t get distracted and you stay on task. The
streamlined navigation experience drops down from the top of the screen with a single touch:
This new navigation model means access to any record is just a touch away. This allows us to display
more of what you want – your business data.

7. Simplified Data Entry
Customer Summary
Your people are busy – working multiple
accounts and opportunities all the time. To
keep them productive and focused on the
task at hand, we’ve introduced new data entry
capabilities. Allow your users to easily create
any record with Quick Create – an optimized
experience to capture key data points for the
record being entered.
CRM systems are built upon the foundation
of relationships. Your CRM system should
help you build these relationships with your
Quickly add and edit Product line items to your
Opportunities, Quotes, Orders and Invoices with
inline editable grids. You can input Product
details such as price, quantity and discount
directly in the grid on the form.
Track and manage the key people such as
stakeholders and sales team members for
your deals. Inline lookup and editing makes it
easier to understand at a glance who is
connected to the record and their role. Your
people can even create “New” records inline
from within the lookup screen.

Release Preview Guide
customers. We’ve
made CRM more
personal by
adding the ability
to store images
and display
location using
Microsoft Bing
Maps. Images are
stored within the
CRM database
using a new Image
attribute type. Each
entity can have an
image
attribute. This attribute is designed to
allow a record to store a single image that
can be displayed in entity forms that are
enabled to display it.
We have introduced a Quick View form that
surfaces important Customer information on
related forms so you always have your
customer data at your fingertips.
7
8. Process Excellence & Agility
With guided processes there is no more guessing what to do next. You always know what has been
completed, where you are in the process, and what still remains to be done. With the ability to
quickly create and modify business processes, your organization can easily adapt to changes in the
market.
Drive effectiveness through pre-defined and configurable processes and enhanced collaborative
selling. Each stage of a process is clearly outlined, identifying the recommended steps to completion.
Users can move forward and backward in a process, and as they do, they will be presented with a
new suggested list of steps.
This is a fresh, intuitive and guided means for users to work through a business process toward a
defined outcome. This is a departure from the traditional transactional CRM application to a
more process-centric, outcome-oriented and guided experience. This is a deliberate move to
focus on outcomes rather than transactions.
A new way to get things done
Span multiple entities
Organizations can have multiple processes for
each entity. Role-specific process assignment
sets the default process and a user can then
switch to another process if better suited.
Required steps within a stage can be enforced
so that users are prevented from progressing to
the next stage in the process. The user is
notified so it is clear what step they need to
complete in order to move forward.
A single Process can span multiple entities
(e.g. Lead to Opportunity to Quote to Order
to Opportunity), including custom entities.
The process helps users navigate across
multiple records within the context of the
desired outcome. This new approach changes
the traditional CRM focus from records and
lists to verifiable outcomes.

14. Enterprise Collaboration
Having the power to collaborate with social technologies embedded in the context of what you are

15. Server-side Synchronization
Stay productive and up to date no matter where you are or what device you’re on. With server-side
synchronization, administrators can easily manage the synchronization of email, tasks, appointments

16. Platform Enhancements
Powerful tools allow you to tailor Microsoft Dynamics CRM to meet your unique business requirements.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM facilitates the delivery of rapid business value with an agile solution
framework that can be easily tailored and configured. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform provides a
declarative paradigm that ranges from defining the data model to providing integrated persistence,
security, API access, user experience and programming paradigms based on a modern open
architecture. This release will introduce several new investments in our platform capabilities to further
our commitment to an open, customizable and extensible online service.
Customer-driven Update
Access Teams
Companies that utilize cloud-based technologies
have the advantage of having the latest
technology available for their business
applications. With this rapid cadence, some
organizations need the flexibility to prepare
their systems and train their users on the latest
update. With Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online
Fall ’13, we are introducing the flexibility to
schedule when you receive these updates.
Administrators will receive in-product and
Email notifications of their update schedule and
include instructions to reschedule the update, if
necessary. Email reminders will be sent 90, 30,
15, and 7 days before the update begins.
Collaboration is key in today’s fast -paced
business environment. Your sales teams need to
collaborate with a unique set of people within
their organization for each Opportunity.
Traditional role-based security does not give
users this level of flexibility. With a record-based
access team, you can add a user to the record
and give them access. The access team is a new
type of team that doesn’t own records, but, has
access to records. Unlike with owner teams, you
can create one or more access teams to work on
the same records and have team members with
different levels of access rights to the record.
Business Rules
Deliver tailored, rule-driven actions across devices
without the need of a developer. Business Rules
provide a simple declarative interface to
implement and maintain fast changing, commonly
used business rules that will be applied to CRM
forms (Main and Quick Create) for both the web
application and CRM for tablets. Set field values,
field requirement levels, show or hide fields, enable
or disable fields and validate data and show error
messages without writing a line of JavaScript code.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013
Release Preview Guide
Real-time Workflow
The existing workflow execution model that
supports asynchronous workflows has been
extended to support real-time (synchronous)
workflows. Real-time workflows are not queued,
as was the case with asynchronous workflows,
but execute immediately on-demand or in
response to a message being processed by the
execution pipeline. Real-time workflows
participate in the database transaction and
perform similar functionality to plug-ins, yet can
be created by a non-developer through the web
application workflow designer. Developers can
still create real-time workflow through code.
16
17. Actions
Developers can extend the functionality of the
standard Microsoft Dynamics CRM system by
creating custom messages, with associated
request/response classes, known as actions.
Actions are new type of processes to expand
the vocabulary available for developers to
express business processes. With core verbs like
Create, Update, Delete, Retrieve, Associate and
Assign provided by the system, an action uses
those core verbs to create more expressive
verbs like Escalate, Approve, Route, and
Schedule. If the definition of the action needs to
change due to changing business priorities,
someone who is not a developer can edit the
action using the application workflow designer.
Since these actions are available through web
service calls, they can be used from both inside
the application using a command action or from
external applications.
Auto Save
Any of the updated forms now have auto save
enabled by default. With auto save enabled
there is no Save button displayed in the
command bar on the form. Records that have
changed data are automatically saved every 30
seconds or when people navigate to a new
record. The auto save behavior can be disabled
at the organization level in System Settings or at
the form level through code.
Enable Custom Mobile Applications
Today’s workforce is mobile and they expect
their business application to give them what
they need where they need it. This release
includes several enhancements to provide
flexibility to deliver these powerful mobile
applications. Added support for OAuth
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013
Release Preview Guide
protocol that is RESTFUL and easier to support
for Mobile/Tablet applications. These
applications, once they are authenticated
through OAuth, can then use either the SOAP
endpoint or the REST OData endpoint. The
OData web service endpoint has been
enhanced with the addition of authentication
support for external mobile and rich client
applications. Previously, the OData web service
endpoint supported only pre-authenticated
client (script) code provided in web resources.
Trustworthy Computing Updates
Microsoft continues its commitment to
trustworthy computing by complying with the
Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS 140-2).
Microsoft Dynamics CRM encrypts the
credentials stored in CRM to access services
such as Yammer or Email providers supported
for server-side synchronization.
Office 2013 Compatibility
Continuing our commitment to deliver CRM
functionality through familiar productivity tools
such as Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel,
Microsoft will provide support for integration
with Microsoft Office 2013. Microsoft
Dynamics CRM for Outlook will be supported
in Microsoft Outlook 2013 providing
contextual capabilities directly within the
Outlook experience. Word merge for
documents and emails will be supported in
Microsoft Word 2013, and the powerful ability
to export data to Microsoft Excel for analysis
and reporting will be supported in Microsoft
Excel 2013. This continues our commitment to
delivering the right user experience for the
hundreds of millions of Microsoft Office users.
