Certified for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 - ISV Solutions Endorsed By Customers
 

Last June, Experlogix was awarded the prestigious Certified for Microsoft Dynamics CRM accreditation by Microsoft (presently we're one of only 9 CRM ISVs worldwide). Why is this so important for Dynamics users and partners and so difficult for other ISVs? Certified for Microsoft Dynamics solutions are customer trusted (at least 10 customers using the ISV solution with Dynamics CRM 4.0 are interviewed by Microsoft) and the ISV code is strictly tested for compatibility with Dynamics CRM 4.0 as well as the Microsoft technology stack. This certification demonstrates our commitment to the Dynamics platform and reinforces our position as the "go-to" configurator ISV.

New!  Version 5.2 Now Available
 

Version 5.2 is now available to customers.  Exciting enhancements include new user interface options, extensive search capabilities (perfect for navigating large product lists), more flexible sales code usage, and support for the .NET 3.5 platform.  To schedule your upgrade, contact support@experlogix.com. 

Worldwide Customer Success!  Konica Minolta NZ & TASS Go Live

Each month, Experlogix customers go live with implementation services delivered from our partners or directly from our services team. Two great examples of global customers that went live using these models are TASS (The Netherlands) and Konica Minolta New Zealand.  TASS (TNO Automotive Safety Solutions) deployed Experlogix for Dynamics CRM with implementation support from their local Experlogix Certified Partner @work Management Associates.  Konica Minolta implemented Experlogix with online training and implementation services directly from us.  Customers can choose from either service delivery model with confidence, ensuring a rapid implementation and return on investment.
