Sample Data for Grants Manager Accelerator


Hi,

I’ve recently started working on the Grants Manager Accelerator

http://grantsmanager.codeplex.com/

After deploying the solution from cloud to on-premise, i had to populate the on premise instance with some sample data.

For this i exported the data from online for most of the entities and converted them to csv.

I am just sharing all the csv files that i have used. (might be helpful)

After downloading the file change the extension from .doc to .zip

Cleared MB2-868 CRM 2011 Applications Exam


Hi,

I cleared the CRM 2011 Applications exam today. There were total 75 questions in it.

When compared to Customization exam this one was little easier as the Application part in CRM 2011 is more or less like CRM 4.0 only, apart from addition of few new features.

There were question around Marketing List (Static and Dynamic), Campaigns (and quick campaigns), Lead conversion, Service Scheduling etc. These official training materials should be more than sufficient

  • 80292A: Service Management in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011
  • 80293A: Service Scheduling in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011
  • 80290A: Marketing Automation in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011
  • 80291A: Sales Management in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

2011 in review


The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

London Olympic Stadium holds 80,000 people. This blog was viewed about 400,000 times in 2011. If it were competing at London Olympic Stadium, it would take about 5 sold-out events for that many people to see it.
