CRM Assist | at | by Mike

Siebel Systems and Microsoft have shown off redesigned .Net-based 'Smart Client' technology, integrating Microsoft Office and Exchange Server 2003 within Siebel enterprise software environments. The firms also unveiled deployment options for Universal Application Network (UAN) that use Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 as a runtime engine and tool set for customisation.

Siebel 7.7 will allow users to link Office Outlook 2003 records to data in the Siebel database, and the Siebel Exchange Connector will allow users to synchronise calendar information, contacts and to-do lists between Siebel 7.7 and Exchange.

Microsoft BizTalk Server executes UAN business integration processes and UAN common services, providing static cross-referencing, dynamic cross-referencing, and error and exception handling.
