With the recent reports out from Forrester Wave and Gartner, Microsoft Dynamics CRM is positioned as a strong market leader of CRM suites for the ability to execute, completeness of vision, current offering and market presence.  This is the case for the SMB to the mid-size and on to the large organizations.
The Forrester Wave research examined [...]

Like a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota so many years ago, the face of healthcare information technology in the United States is on the precipice of about a $20 billion dollar facelift that will forever change the face of EHR (electronic health record). As has been well publicized, “The American Recovery and [...]

How fondly does an entire generation of folks remember seeing Laura Ingalls running down that grassy hill in the opening credits of Little House on the Prairie. No longer are we living in the age of Little House on the Prairie where a region’s healthcare services are provided by someone like Doc Baker who [...]

For the last few weeks we’ve been talking internally a lot about implicit content, that is the trail of information that internet users leave behind as they browse the web, information about preferences, clicking habits, needs, etc. Here at Engage we’ve been working on a couple of white papers about the role the Internet is playing [...]

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Quick Find is a great feature which allows you to quickly search for records without the need to use Advanced Find.

Which is why we’re getting such a kick out of this video that Microsoft put out a few years ago for its UC solutions. [...]
