The latest release of : R8 includes a new mobile client. Until now there was a very basic mobile client built into CRM called Mobile Express. It only ran on devices with a compatible browser and only when connected to the Internet. R8 includes a new mobile client that works with CRM Online or On Premise and supports iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Android, and Windows 7 phones. It allows offline access meaning there is an application installed locally on the device that synchronizes data to the local device as opposed to using a browser interface.
Users can connect up to 3 devices with a single license. There is an extra subscription required that costs $30 per user per month for up to 3 devices. The user must have a user license for Microsoft CRM as well.
A few other points:
· Administrators can remotely wipe the device should it fall into the wrong hands or if the device gets lost
· Role Tailored interfaces are supported; this means that different staff can have different forms to input and interact with data
based on their role in the organization
· Offline support will not be available for Windows Phone in the initial release
Devices Supported:
· Windows Phone: 7.5
· Apple iPhones 3GS+ iOS 5+
· Google Android 2.2+
· RIM Blackberry 6.x and 7.x
· Apple iPad/iPad2 iOS 5+
