As so-called Project Green is rolling out - you ought to expect more logic to be transferred into Microsoft Business Portal, and into Microsoft Outlook (currently Microsoft CRM has outlook client and Microsoft Small Business Accounting enables you to generate invoices in Outlook directly, plus promote contacts from Outlook to SBA).

Again - inside our opinion you should consider budget offshore solution for these developers-time consuming projectso Brazil - rising star of offshore software development. Usually offshore development is caused by India - in our opinion Brazil has equal or better chances - in Brazil we have Microsoft Navision, CRM and Axapta clientele. From Brazil we could serve you Portuguese (mainland Portugal) and Spanish (Spain-Madrid-Barcelona-Malaga-Bilbao, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Chili, Argentina, Costa Rica, Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Beliz)
