MiSync 1.0 for MS CRM & Exchange Synchronization to ship this week!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Metisc today confirmed that V1.0 of MiSync for Microsoft Dynamics CRM will ship on Friday October 31st. In a surprise anouncement, this will not be a Beta, but will be a fully functional production ready version that includes full one way synchronization of Contacts from Microsoft Dynamics CRM to shared folders in Microsoft Exchange.

Metisc had earlier announced that a beta was expected by the end of October, but sources today confirmed that instead of shipping a beta version, Metisc will be shipping a fully production ready version - with Synchronization limited strictly to contacts.

Existing MiSync users of the ASI iMIS CRM system will need a license upgrade if they are switching to Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a synchronization source.

For further information on MiSync for Microsoft Dyanamic CRM or ASI iMIS CRM, contact Metisc directly at www.metisc.com

Beta 1.0 nears for MiSync for MS CRM

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

MiSync, the server side tool that allows direct synchronization between Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Exchange Server, will see beta 1.0 release around the end of October 2008.

Beta 1.0 will support the Synchronization of Contacts from Dynamics CRM to Exchange. Synchronization will be conducted 100% server side and will not require any client software to be installed on user workstations. Beta 1.0 will support any Email client that can access Exchange Shared Folders including Outlook, Outlook Web Access (OWA), Entourage for Mac OSX, Kmail for Linux and Evolution for Windows, OSX and Linux.

Metisc will release a followup beta (1.1) planned for mid November that will support updating of Calendars. Up until now, calendars can only be updated if users have installed the Microsoft CRM client for Outlook. This has the drawback of requiring users to be logged in for synchronization to occur. Many customers have shared that their sales teams and executives are not always logged in to the network. This causes problems when Personal Assistants, team members and other staff need access to up-to-date calendars. A typical problem occurs when a Financial advisor is out of the office, and a PA may double book an appointment because the advisor has not synchronized with CRM while out.

The final Beta (1.2) will add support for Tasks and Activities and is expected to be avialable around the end of November.

The fully functional system will ship December 2008 - and Metisc has shared that customers ordering the software prior to shipping date will be eligible for a 25% discount on standard pricing.

Note: MiSync is also available for the ASI iMIS CRM system. The current version 1.0.6 shipped in May of 2008. If you are an ASI iMIS CRM user in the Not-For-Profit market and wish to see information regarding MiSync for iMIS, then please contact Metisc directly.
