February 6, 2012 – Microsoft announced today the Q2 2012 Service Update for Dynamics CRM, and the fact that it’s branded as the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Anywhere release should give you a good idea of what to look forward to. Here are some of the highlights, starting with two things I get asked about all the time: iPad and multiple browser support.

Native iPad support

Including a feature-rich client (dashboards, dial or text from record, mapping, two out of three of which you can see in the following figures)

Multiple browser support

IE on Windows 7
Safari 5.11 + on Mac OSX and iPad 2
Firefox 6+
Chrome 13.x

Enhanced Activity Feeds

Builds on current foundation
Adds Likes/Dislikes
Improved filtering of activity feeds

It sounds like this release will still only expose Dynamics CRM records on the activity feeds “wall”, but that the Q4 2012 Service Update will extend this to external communities.

Leveraging new features and improvements in SQL 2012

If you’re attending Convergence you’ll probably want to attend some of the sessions on this important topic.

Performance improvements
Next-gen BI with Power View (Crescent)
Pre-defined Power Pivot models for CRM
Pre-defined Power View reports
Available on marketplace as a Microsoft Labs solution

Resources

Here are some of the most important; I’ll post more as we get closer to release.
