Back Office Server Stack

The majority of businesses today, large and small, are using Microsoft to run their network and the other core components of their IT infrastructure. Microsoft Windows, Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, etc, are all integrated and built from the ground up to be part of the Microsoft server stack. Now, Microsoft CRM has joined these other applications and can actually be considered the most important application in the stack as it can be leveraged to integrate with the core Microsoft applications. Microsoft CRM can be the central database or repository for all of these applications. CRM becomes not just an application but a platform that encompasses every aspect of your business. CRM can be accessed securely via roles and portals to meet the most even the most complex requirements. It does not make sense to bring in a third party application into your back office server stack when the rest of your core server applications are made by Microsoft. The Microsoft CRM application has more integration with your core applications than its competitors.
