After using the on-premise version of Dynamics CRM for a time now, Exactive realized the need to bring a change in the version and decided to jump to a better version. For a genuine consultation, the client approached De facto Infotech, which suggested them a migration solution. Following a detailed study, the dependable Microsoft-Partner came up with an idea to migrate the entire on-premise solution to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Online. The client also had another CRM solution in mind, but after evaluating the both, it decided to go ahead with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Online.
