The Diary of a CRM Migration – Part 6 – May I present the latest addition to the British Library

It honestly seems like we were in the last ice age when I started this project, but I can sense that the development phase is definitely within touching distance. The only thing that stands between me and the fun of dev work, is documentation… oh, how I HATE documentation.

The Right Tool for the Job (and it’s not always an App!)

If you’ve ever worked with tools of any kind – workshop, garage, kitchen etc – you’ll probably have been told, at least once, to “Use the right tool for the job”.

The Diary of a CRM Migration – Part 5 – Can I see your License sir?

I’ve spent the past week trying to work out the spaghetti puzzle of Licensing with Limahl (NO, Not that one!) from the Acquiring and Provisioning team. The joys of licensing mean that we need to look at everything from storage, user count, number of emails, attachments, calories consumed that day, the colour of the moon, the date in the Aztec calendar and so much more The post The Diary of a… Continue Reading Mike’s...

#community

It’s no exaggeration to make the claim that I use the hashtag #community in around 90% of my social media posts. It’s also not an inaccurate statement to say that I’m the crazy guy who will run up to people and probably just shout “#COMMUNITY” at everyone and anyone… and all for very, very good reason.

The Diary of a CRM Migration – Part 2: What exactly are we doing again?

Only the other day we finally got the go-ahead to get on with our migration from CRM 2011 to Dynamics 365, now I sit here just wondering what kind of beast I’ve unleashed. All I wanted to do was replace the fossilised dinosaur and deliver some nice new shiny stuff along the way, but somebody just had to go and ask the worst possible question you can ask a user – “What do you… Continue Reading Mike’s Article on their...
