Chapter 6. SharePoint Integration

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 supports SharePoint 2007/2010 integration to improve document management in CRM. The previous versions of CRM didn't have a solid out-of-the-box solution for document management except 'Notes' and 'Articles'. The SharePoint integration feature provides the same look and feel inside CRM. Users can operate documents inside CRM just like in SharePoint. SharePoint 2010 is recommended, because documents from SharePoint 2007 are displayed in an IFRAME, and folders cannot be automatically created on the SharePoint server.

This task will show you how to enable and configure the SharePoint integration feature in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.
