As promised we have now created a full video demo which can be watched below of the new eMAP Bing Map and Bing Search integration with Microsoft CRM 2011.

The video is about 16 minutes long but does cover all the integration points for data directly in CRM.

As this is pre-release and if you have any suggestions of what great additions could be added please let me know as a number of people from the dynamics community have already contributed with great affect.

We are also working with a number of partner data providers to enhance the experience and deliver more data and prospect information directly into your CRM, from the mapping tool.

You can email us on sales@mycrmgroup.com Quoting eMAP.
