WWPC TITAN Update notes

I saw TITAN in action at WWPC on Monday 7/9. It was awesome!.

Sounds like they will stick with the current Dynamics naming conventions and call it Dynamics CRM 4.0.

It was Friday’s build so it was the latest and greatest. They had us in an invite only meeting for the key partners in CRM from around the world. Just a handful of people and the MSFT folks.

Here are some of the tidbits and notables from the presentation. This is totally confidential and only my opinion of what I saw so please do not spread this around to anyone else at this time until something more official comes out:
· The UI is a little cleaner but almost exactly the same.
· SPEED - The system is caching faster so everything is speedier.
· Multi Tenancy, Language, and Currency is included in the Version.
· Many to Many relationships are now easily handled.
· Reports Wizard - There is a lot more Reports creation features that will make it easier to create most of the reports and cross entity reporting stuff we do.
· There is a Data migration tool set for that will do look ups and updates and migrations. It is a lot like scribe but not as powerful for translations and integrations. It will help a lot on that front. You can add info and inject it into the existing data set.
· WWF - Windows Workflow Foundation looks really slick and easy to use. Much better then what we have now.
· Mobility will be a core part of TITAN and will be integral and treated like the Outlook client.
· It has Duplicate Detection rules and scheduler built in.
· You can now refer to multiple USERS from an entity like and account or opp for primary owner and secondary owners and backups etc.
· Templates look a little improved and now you can pull in fields from all related entities onto the template.
· You can now add multiple users in a couple clicks instead of one at a time
· Import Export - ISV Config, WEB Config and Workflow and Sitemaps etc are all now in the customize entity area. This will make it much easier to move or drop in customizations to a client system.
· The GUID Tracking Token can now be hidden/removed but still tracked! There are many more options to do this better and cleaner.
· They have added auto-complete features to the fields as you fill them out.
