Integrate Dynamics CRM on-premise with SharePoint online without IFD? Try out the SharePoint Attachment Manager from XrmForYou

Sometime back I wrote a blog on the common obstacles faced while setting up CRM on-premise integration with SharePoint online. We have a very detailed documentation from Microsoft which explains the step by step details on how to do the same.

While these documentation are very detailed, everyone will agree that it’s quite an effort to actually set up this integration. Not to forget the very basic requirement is to expose your CRM environment over IFD. In Microsoft’s own words – “The Dynamics 365 (on-premises) deployment must already be configured and available through the Internet“

While configuring this may not be the most difficult task in the world, unfortunately many clients won’t be agreeing to do this. For some CRM instance must be restricted access behind the firewall.

Are you in a similar situation where your client is not willing to go online or expose their CRM instance over the internet and still want document management to be enabled in few steps. Well our SharePoint attachment and Metadata Manager utility would help you do that with very few configuration steps and without any configuration changes or installations on your CRM or SharePoint side.
