hi every now i would like to learn one cource.i think to learn any CRM cource that i seither SIEBEL CRM or DYNAMIC CRM but which one is better to learn and in which one jobs r good .plz could some plz suggest me .thanks

From a personal experience using vtiger CRM and Siebel CRM and Dynamics, i see that Dynamics CRM can be the most appropriate CRM to learn and to consider it a starting point in your Career.
MS Dynamics CRM is properly supported by Microsoft and most of the Corporations would prefer going through Dynamics since in a simple Quality/Price Ratio, Dynamics always wins against all other Popular CRM solution specially SAP CRM and Siebel CRM
Close your eyes and go Directly through Dynamics !

Oracle has a 16% marketshare, Microsoft's is less than 3-4%, but I feel like Microsoft is poised to gain in the CRM market, since their Dynamics suite continues to mature and seems to have a lot of investment. If you learn Siebel you're going to be dealing primarily with large companies, while Dynamics will likely be medium to small businesses. This question comes down mostly to geography and skills, if you live in the USA and know .NET and MS SQL, I'd say go dynamics, otherwise I might lean towards Siebel.

dynamics crm from microsoft would be easier

Microsoft CRM has better native out of the box integration with the Microsoft Office line of products. If a company is aligned with Microsoft products (Outlook, Word, Excel), it will be much less expensive for them to implement Microsoft CRM in the long run. Other CRM vendors have integrations with the products but it is not at a native level. CRM implementations are wrought with failure, with a big factor to that being that users can't use the product efficiently. Since Microsoft CRM has all of these built-in integrations, it has a one-up in user adoption on its competitors. It has a great model for CRM with out of the box modules for Sales, Service, and Marketing, along with a extensible database model that can be configured by any power user (with a little bit of training). Microsoft is very dedicated to the product and releases quarterly update rollups and comes out with a major release about ever 2 to 3 years. Microsoft CRM offers companies the ability to have their CRM hosted with Microsoft, hosted with a partner, or on-premise, whereas many of the other vendors only offer a cloud or on-premise option, but not both. I've been working with a Dynamics CRM partner for about 4 years and the job market for Microsoft CRM (and most Microsoft technologies) has been very good in my experience.

Is Office Fabric used in creating the Exchange Admin Center? What else is?

I need to create an administrative portal that is visually consistent with Office 365 and Exchange online / 2016
What UX experience is most similar to the admin portal in these situations?
I discovered Office Fabric but not sure what else is needed to get an Exchange administrator page.
Office UI Fabric team member here. I'm not sure if Fabric is currently used in the Exchange Admin Portal (I don't think so today), but as Slava points out, Fabric is the framework we use to build many of the apps & experiences throughout Office 365, with many pages and experiences being onboarded all the time. It's your best bet if you want to build a new UX that looks and feels like Office, specifically the Fabric-React components, since we stress-test these in our own products and hold them to a very high standard in terms of performance, accessibility, and feature set.
Yes, your research is correct. Office UI Fabric is the front-end framework for building experiences that fit seamlessly into Office and Office 365. Mainly the product made to be replicate Office applications (Word, Outlook, etc.) in 3rd party apps and add-ins. It should be suitable for administrative portal as well, but probably not that reach.
Office UI fabric has two mayor parts: One is Office UI Fabric Core which includes set of style sheets and the second Office UI Fabric JS which delivers built-in components you may use out of box with the core styles.

MS CRM 2016 Performance Baseline

I'm a newbie about performance testing and I need to make a performance test on MS CRM 2016. But I need some baseline numbers to make comparison. There should be some acceptable numbers by the industry. For example; what should be the max CPU usage of a CRM server or database server etc. In fact, these number don't have to be directly related to CRM. It's a website anyway. I googled many things and times but I couldn't find any complete information. Does anyone have such information or guide me to find anything about it? Thank you.
Your best starting point for Dynamics CRM is the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 White Papers & Technical Documentation and particularly a white paper named Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Performance and Scalability Documentation.

How to get Microsoft CRM for Development Purposes?

I am a recent graduate, who has done some work experience at a company developing/designing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Solutions. I have moved on from there and have no official ties anymore. However, I do see the future in this product and I would like to keep developing solutions and increasing my development knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Taking into account the above and that I have a job in a different IT area. As well as the fact that I am determined to start this from scratch... What are my options?
My intentions for the future(1-3 yrs) is to develop Microsoft CRM 2013 Solutions and hopefully sell to local small businesses.
MSDN subscription or using trial subscription on CRM Online instance or using trial key:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40341
Or if you want to be a startup, you might be eligible for BizSpark subscription:
http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/
I think your best bet would be to get an online subscription. Your solution's code should be 100% compatible with the new CRM APIs in the SDK. Running everything from an online CRM solution would ensure it will work. This will also ensure that when the next version is released, you will be ready for it.
Unless Microsoft changes their licensing, this might be your only reasonably priced choice.
Try the Demo Builder:
http://demobuilder.cloudapp.net/unauthenticated-home/#
It's a Wizard base tool that will guide you through the process of setting up an online demo environment.
There are a bunch of templates that you can select from that will give you a good idea of the different scenarios where CRM can be deployed.

MS dynamics and MS Project Application

My comany is using MS Project to handle ERP.
But after a quick search on internet, I found out MS Dynamics is the tool dedicated for ERP.
So just wondering what's the difference between MS Dynamics and MS Project?
MS Project is intended for project management. ERP is intended for all operations internal to a business, including accounts payable and receivable, stock control, manufacturing, risk management, supply chain, etc, etc, etc. It often includes project management as well.
So they're entirely different things.
MS Dynamics is a group of several products, not a single product and includes ERP and CRM products.
Well said Mike. MS Dynamics is a group of products for ERP and CRM like NAV (formerly known as Navision) which is an ERP solution for small and mid size enterprises. Microsoft Project is a project management software which is designed to assist project managers in developing plans, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing budgets and analyzing workloads.

I would like to develop applications for the Windows platform & at the very least I need a server based Windows OS (2008), SQL Server, IIS and Visual Studio. Looks like VS2010 professional alone will cost over $1K. Is there a cheaper option to get hold of Microsoft software? I remember long time ago there was an MSDN subscription option which allowed user access to server based OS and other server applications with restrictive licensing that was cost effective. I don't see that option anymore. Moreover, I am not a student & I understand Microsoft provides software at discounted rates for students. Any pointers?
You can start off with the Express versions of these products, at little to no cost.
BizSpark
From here, emphasis added.
What Microsoft software is included?
All the software included in the
Visual Studio Team System Team Suite
(VSTS) with MSDN Premium subscription
Expression Studio (Version 2), plus
VSTS Team Foundation Server Standard
Edition - for the entire development
team The development tools provided
are the same as those in MSDN Premium
subscription, plus VSTS Team
Foundation Server. However, there are
features of MSDN Premium (such as
support and internal use licenses)
that are not included in BizSpark
Production license use rights, to
deploy, host and support Startup’s
"Software-plus-Services" applications
for delivery over the Internet, using
the most current releases of the
following products: Windows Server
(all editions), SQL Server (all
editions), BizTalk Server, and Office
SharePoint Server for hosting. To
deploy in production, a Startup may
self-host or select an authorized
BizSpark Hosting Partner through the
BizSpark Network Partner directory.
The Express editions of some of their software is available for free. However, you will still need to purchase the operating system with this option and will not get access to premium features.
The option for installing your own Server OS / SQL Server and alike you are probably thinking of is the personal http://technet.microsoft.com, which can be used for personal pruposes such as development and learning, but can not be used for production.
I personally have a copy to run Hyper-V, multiple server 2k3 images, a server 2k8 image, and multiple SQL servers + 1 oracle 11g. The number of licenses per OS / server application etc varies from 1 to 10 but most are 10 (except things like exchange, why would you want 10 exchanges?)
The price when I purchased it was £204 for the initial annual license, and an slightly reduced annual subscription fee.
It also comes with application licenses such as all of office, project, visio etc.
What it does not include is the development tools at all - to keep the cost down on those you have to use express or pay the money.
