Mr Dave has written an interesting blog in plug-in development, which is the replacement for the callout-techniques used in CRM 3. There are a lot of architectural differences between callous and plug-ins. If you are planning to use plugs, dig in:

I hope to be writing some postings of my own concerning CRM 4.0 soon, but I still havn’t got my hands on a version 🙁

Ben Riga has made a CRM 4 VPC available on partner source. In other words, you have to be a Microsoft Dynamics Partner to be able to download it. Unfortunatley, I am not, yet, so I havn’t had the possibility to download it. When I start at WM-Data/Logica CMG, I will be however, and look forward to checking it out!
Here is the link if you have access: http://blogs.msdn.com/benriga/archive/2007/10/08/titan-now-available-to-all-dynamics-partners.aspx

Very exciting times…
Lots of CRM 4 related information all around. Microsoft UK CRM Blog has some interesting information:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ukcrm/
And if you havn’t been there already, keep a steady eye on The CRM Teams blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/crm
They have added some links to videos of CRM 4.
Here is also an interesting blog containing info about CRM 4. It details a bit more the Import/Migration tool included in CRM 4.
I still have some unanswered questions:
1. Is there support for global javascript includes (like globalcustom.js)?
2. Is there a VPC out yet?
3. Other javascript support?
I would also like to look deeper into the offline API that is included.
And callouts have been renamed to plug-ins, and are “Tennant”-specific, meaning that they can be assigned to only one of the installed companies on the CRM server. Very nice indeed!
When I know more, I’ll get back to you!

November the 9:th will be my last day at Humandata here in Sweden. My new employment will be at WM-Data/Logica CMG where I will be working as a consultant with special focus on Microsoft Dynamics CRM development.
This means that I will focus even more on MS CRM and less on SharePoint. Don’t get me wrong, I really like SharePoint and will probably use it for integration purposes with Microsoft CRM many times. This new employment will give me the opportunity to work with some of the largest MS CRM implementations and I will also be assisting in building a team of (hopefully) excellent MS CRM developers and consultants. If you feel that is you, please let me know, and we’ll meet and discuss it. It will also be very interesting and instructive to work with the very experienced CRM professionals at WM-Data.
I will still be activly blogging to get you the latest and most useful tips, but I will focus more on Microsoft CRM, even though an occational SharePoint posting might occur.
I would also like to say that I feel very sad to leave the company Humandata which is a great place to work and it has been a privilage to work with some of the most competent people in the business. If you are a skilled SharePoint consultant (or want to be), please contact Göran Husman (SharePoint MVP and owner of Humandata), I promise you wont regret it!
