1. Microsoft CRM SDK. If you are Microsoft Visual Studio .Net C#, VB or SQL programmer and developer, you may decide to dedicate some of your software development training time to familiarize yourself with SDK objects and methods: Lead, Account, Address, Contact, Quote, Order, Contract, Case, Task, etc. Microsoft CRM is pretty complex in its technology layers, and it is not recommended to populate MS CRM tables directly via SQL scripting -recommended way is to abstract your programming through MS CRM SDK layer

2. Dynamics GP Great Plains integration programming. Here you have to consider Dynamics GP eConnect, this Software Development Kit opens Microsoft Dynamics GP objects, such as customer, vendor, GL account, employee, Sales Invoice, Purchase Order, etc. eConnect is also MS Visual Studio programmer friendly, so you could enjoy eConnect self discovery. We recommend you to consider web integration project, where you combine Microsoft CRM SDK and Great Plains eConnect libraries

3. SAP Business One integration coding. In SB1 you should think about combining SAP Business One SDK libraries with Microsoft CRM SDK modules. SAP B1 and GP are both ERP and MRP applications and Microsoft CRM integration methodic is similar on technology layer

4. Lotus Notes Domino integration. Here you have various layers. Try to review ODBC integration if you are doing discovery. ODBC expects you to have repetitive structures in Lotus Notes, which is pretty common if you are dealing with custom Lotus Notes database

5. Microsoft CRM EDI programming. Electronic Document Interchange is typically associated with Vendor purchasing and order placement channel. If you have merchandise ordering logic from your Microsoft CRM Sales Orders, then consider formatted SQL Select statement from CRM tables
