We are pleased to say that iDcrm is now (a little bit more than) one year old!! Thanks to our customers.

What started like a dream: have a “plug and play” Microsoft CRM on the iPhone is now a successful software solution.

But what’s the exact situation?

1- Let’s talk about numbers

1. -Partners: we have now more than 110 active partners worldwide (active means working on a minimum of one opportunity with us) in more than 20 countries. We still have countries that are not correctly covered but we are working on that.
   

2. -OEM Partners: we are currently working with a large Microsoft CRM hosting provider to deliver a specific iDcrm for their customers (this version will only work on their system)
   

3. -Today we have 586 users of iDcrm SFA edition (launched in January 2010) and 1103 full users of iDcrm (launched in May 2009)
   

4. -Our pipeline indicates around 2000 additional users in opportunities above 70% certainty and estimated close date within 6 months
   

2- Let’s talk about what we can improve

1. -Support: our support process is still long. How? We are redesigning iDcrm to reduce the needs for support. We are also working on a FAQ document because a big part of the issues are more setup-related that real bugs.
   

2. -Communication of coming versions. How? By giving a better visibility and serious timeline.
   

This is our commitment for this year.

3- What about the future of the product?

1. -iDcrm 1.2.7 - May 2010
   

We are late but this version will be released in May 2010. I invite you to read a previous blog to see what’s new.

1. -iDcrm Server component 1.0 - June 2010
   

A server component? Yes! Not a component requiring you to rebuild MS CRM but an Administration component. This was requested by corporate users, so here it is. It will be priced around $ 1,000.00. It will work either on iFD, On-premises and Microsoft CRM online.

1. -iDcrm 1.2.8 = iDcrm 2 - July / August 2010
   

This version will deliver various features like: final redesigned interface, More standard entities with Sales / marketing / Service profile, Full MS CRM security model implementation, MS CRM views and a lot more. It will also replace the 1.3 version that was initially delayed and now cancelled due to the iPad requirements.

1. -iDcrm XL - August 2010
   

THE iPad version. It will be an iDcrm 2 adapted for iPad with a lot of ergonomic changes.

Again, thanks for your confidence.
