Description: Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a customer relationship management (CRM) solution designed to help organize and automate business processes in order to improve customer service and satisfaction. CRM uses a server-client topology and is primarily an Internet Information Services (IIS)-based web application. Clients access CRM via web browser or by a thick client plug-in to Microsoft Outlook. The base configuration typically uses separate computers that run the components, which include Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server and an instance of Windows Server functioning as an Active Directory domain controller. A multiple-server configuration has multiple computers that are running CRM that access a single server that is running SQL Server. This product is capable of integrating with Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint.

This product is offered in two editions: On-premise and Cloud-based. This assessment covers the On-premise edition.

The TRM decisions in this entry only apply to technologies and versions owned, operated, managed, patched, and version-controlled by VA. This includes technologies deployed as software installations on VMs within VA-controlled cloud environments (e.g., VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC)). Cloud services provided by the VAEC, which are listed in the VAEC Service Catalog, and those controlled and managed by an external Cloud Service Provider (i.e., SaaS) are not in the purview of the TRM. For more information on the use of cloud services and cloud-based products within VA, including VA private clouds, please see the Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO) Portal at: https://dvagov.sharepoint.com/sites/OITEPMOECSO
