Building applications with Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a platform.
My role at Microsoft is as a Technical Evangelist working with independent software vendors (ISVs) to help them bring (mainly vertical) solutions to market based on our CRM platform.
I'm going to post some of my thoughts about using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 as a platform. Think of it this way - Dynamics CRM is as much of a software development platform as it is a horizontal application for customer management.

About Charlie Wood
I am a Technical Evangelist working with independent software vendors (ISVs) to create solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 as a platform. I am based in Redmond, WA.
The primary goal of my team is to work as a catalyst to help ISVs bring (mainly vertical) solutions to market. We tend to view the Dynamics CRM application more as a platform for software development – rather than just a horizontal offering. In fact that tends to be one of my main goals – getting the big industry vertical solution providers just to understand the power and flexibility of the Dynamics CRM software development platform.
I have worked at Microsoft for about six years (with a little time off!). I originally started in the UK subsidiary working as an infrastructure consultant in the consulting division. Following that I moved to Microsoft New Zealand where I continued to work in consulting for a while – but later moved on to the joint role of Solution Specialist and Product Manager focused on Microsoft CRM.
