Titan Software Design Review, what an event!

I have been very busy lately so haven't had a chance to update my blogs for a while but I am back! We just finished a very exciting three day software design review event for Titan in Redmond. The event was packed with ISVs participating from all over the world as well as internal product and operation groups who are actively adopting Microsoft CRM. We ended up having about 20% more participation that we have originally planned for which was great while challenged us to schedule more 1:1 solution review sessions on the fly! This was a great opportunity for us to get feedback from ISVs about our thinking and designs for Titan and help them think through their application designs and architecture. The feedback about technologies and scenarios that we are delivering in Titan was overwhelming positive and I managed to get our development and Quality Assurance teams involved to learn more about our ISVs and share the credit for their good work. The most buzz was around our new extensibility model for building rich custom business logic on both CRM on-promise and Live. Of course we were lucky and super happy to hear about some feature asks that are not in the current plan. The whole point of having the design review was to make sure we have fully understood what ISVs need to build great apps on top of our platform and refine the plans as we get closer to the release.
