Introduction to solutions


A solution is a package of customized components that can be imported into a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 system. Each solution has a name, version number, and publisher who owns the solution.

There are two primary purposes to using solutions:

  • Promoting your own customizations: Solutions can be exported from one Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2011 organization and imported into another. This is useful for promoting your customizations through your development, testing, and production deployments.

  • Obtaining independent software vendor (ISV) solutions: Solutions containing custom components can also be developed by third-party independent software vendors and imported into your organization. Solutions—whether they are free, for purchase or subscription—can be downloaded from the Microsoft Dynamics Marketplace or directly from ISVs' websites.
