Used by various CRM Vendors.
we are evaluating CRM packages and are looking for information on the
differences/simliarities, pros and cons of these architectures used by
various CRM Vendors.
We have been searching for more information online and have not really found
any comparisons.
Client Server
.NET
ASP
SMS RAD Framework
If we understand correctly, any architecture that uses DCOM is client/server
and .NET = web services.
How does ASP and the SMS RAD Framework fit into all this?
Any insight, web links, etc are appreciated.
First off, I hope that your search across CRM vendors includes Microsoft
Dynamics CRM, which has taken the CRM market by storm this past year.

The platform technologies that you list are common technologies in the
Microsoft platform. By far, the best way to have someone explain the
distinctions of these different bits is to give a call to your local
Microsoft regional office. There are helpful folks there, including Systems
Engineers, who can help you to understand the role that these technologies
play. http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crm/request_more_info.mspx
I'll do my best to help. Please understand that I am not speaking on behalf
of Microsoft in this forum.
