Nothing is official yet but according to TheVarGuy.com who attended the SMB Nation conference in Las Vegas last week, Microsoft’s VP of US Small and Medium Business & Distribution, Cindy Bates, demonstrated the forthcoming integration of Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM Online 2011 with Windows Phone 7:
Microsoft aggressively pitched Microsoft CRM Online. Bates says CRM is Microsoft’s fastest-growing business application. Microsoft previewed some forthcoming CRM Online 2011 enhancements, including integration with Windows Phone 7.
The unspoken message: Microsoft will link its CRM cloud strategy the Windows Phone 7 mobile launch in a bid to compete more aggressively against Salesforce.com and NetSuite.
This will probably be similar to the way SharePoint is currently integrated in WP7 but given that nothing has bee said about it yet I would guess that this features probably won’t be released before the end of the year (unless it is offered as a downloadble application in the Marketplace).
