Hi, can anyone suggest me good blogs/sites for WCF? and I also want to know more about Integration and Migration of MS CRM? and more real time scenarios for Plugins and Workflows to implement.

Hi Jyotsna, There are many options for integrating your Microsoft Dynamics CRM system with other in-house and third-party systems. The list below represents some of the data integration solutions available for Dynamics CRM: 1. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Data Import Wizard 2. Connector for Microsoft Dynamics 3. Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services 4. Microsoft BizTalk Server 5. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server with Sharepoint 6. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Instance Adapter 7. Microsoft CRM Online and Office 365 8. BizTalk Adapter 9. SSIS Integration Workflows are more suitable if: 1. you want to achieve simple tasks faster, such as sending an e-mail or creating / updating assigning records. These actions can be set up very quickly with a workflow without any need of writing code. 2. you want to easily scale things to managers (if they were setup for user records), as it is possible to assign records to them. 3. you want to allow an advanced user to make changes to logic. As using the integrated workflow designer is user-friendly, an advanced user would be able to edit an existing workflow and change some rules according to business changes. 4. the logic should be available to be run on demand. I mean, when you are within an entity and navigates to “workflows” option in the left pane, all workflows marked as available to run on demand can be executed making them independent of an event trigger. 5. you want to send emails making use of templates and attaching files. Plugins are more suitable if: 1. you need to manipulate data before is saved. 2. you need to make validations before submitting the operation. 3. you want to be able to cancel an operation based on your validations. 4. immediate response to the user is needed. 5. you need retrieve values and/or take actions after operation has been completed (i.e. getting and autogenerated id) If you think the post is useful, contact me or pass me your number so we can discuss in detail on the same.
