The NDA that prevented partners and others from disclosing details about the upcoming CRM release (codename:Titan) has been lifted. That means the product team members can also blog about it.
I would say Titan will be a pretty damn solid release with a bunch of multi's:
-Multitenant: Share the same web front end across independent organizations
-Multilingual: Support for multiple languages according to the "users" preference
-Multicurrency
There are also many new features and enhancements; my personal favorites:
-Enhanced relationships: Naturally, my favorite one since I’m the customizations PM J. We now natively support n:n relationships and also increased the number of entities that will allow new custom relationships. This is a pretty BIG DEAL; you can also now customize some of the UI behaviors associated with those relationships.
-Workflow. Based on Windows Workflow Foundation our workflow team has made an amazing job of bringing the power of workflow to end users. The workflow designer has been moved to the Web client. Also now workflows can be individually monitored by end users; which means that there is a clear visibility of where (in which stage) a certain process is.
-Reporting Wizard: Not an expert on designing reports using SRS? No problem, the report wizard will let end users to create pretty powerful reports using a simple and intuitive web interface.
-Unified architecture for plug-ins and enhanced support for more entities and messages. This is a large topic that is hard to summarize in a few words but in short we now have a single architecture for synch AND asynch plug-ins that can work online or offline (using the offline platform).
-Metadata API. Finally a programmatic way to modify the CRM schema (entities, attributes, relationships). The Metadata API is now r/w.
There are many more cool things in this release and I’m sure you will see tons of blogs and news about them.
