Welcome to the Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Team blog!

Dear reader,

 

I am very excited to be here in the age of “blogging” with a team of super passionate and engaged colleagues that are eager to jump on to the“blogosphere“.

 

The Microsoft Dynamics Mobile team live and breathe mobile solutions. The goal for us is to give access to Microsoft Dynamics products from mobile devices by providing a familiar and flexible mobile solutions platform.

In July 2007 we released version 1.0 of Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Development Tools that enable partners and customers to develop and customize mobile applications for Microsoft Dynamics solutions. The tools consist of a Mobile Framework that is an extension of Visual Studio where developers quickly can create mobile applications from reusable components called tasklets and Mobile Server that provides the infrastructure to connect the business application with Microsoft Dynamics.

In July 2007 we also released Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Sales. Mobile Sales is a RoleTailored and task-oriented solution (www.microsoft.com/presspass/newsroom/dynamics/mobilesales.mspx).

 

It is an ideal solution for field sales representativesand companies handling direct store delivery options. Mobile Sales consists of a range of reusable tasklets that can also be used within the Mobile Framework to develop new mobile solutions.

There is no doubt that the mobile Line of Business (mLoB) domain will grow exponentially in the coming years like we are seeing in the consumer space.

 

We believe that the Mobile Development Tools and mobile business applications from Microsoft Dynamics will help partners and customers grow and utilize their existing systems fully.

 

We have taken the first steps towards integrating and leveraging the first existing business management solutions, namely Microsoft Dynamics AX and are planning to release for Microsoft Dynamics NAV this spring 2008. Furthermore, we are investigating opportunities to expand to other Dynamics products such as Dynamics GP and Dynamics CRM.

In this blog we would like to share small and big thoughts about what we do, what we struggle with and any other stuff that we(and you) find interesting. We would like to get closer to our community and help spread the word about how important mobile is and how cool our solutions are.

We really hope that you will share your comments with us and that you also will find the mobile domain to be as fascinating as we do.

 

Thank you in advance for making this blog an interesting place to visit and please let us have your comments.

 

Thanks

 

Regards
