Scribe Integration Dynamics GP to Dynamics CRM 4.0
Scribe has just released the updated GP to CRM templates.
The Scribe Microsoft Dynamics™ GP to Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM template provides a working integration between Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM that includes customer, address, product, order, and invoice data.
The templates can be used for demonstration purposes or as a framework for building an integration between Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
Requirements
The Dynamics GP to Dynamics CRM template has these requirements:
· Scribe Insight 6.2 or higher
· Scribe Adapter 4.0 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM or higher
· Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 or Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0
· A licensed Microsoft Dynamics CRM user with administrator privileges for use during the integration
· Scribe Adapter 3.8 for Microsoft Dynamics GP or higher (runtime or full version of eConnect required)
· Microsoft Dynamics GP (versions prior to 8.0 are supported for one-way implementations only)
· Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higher
Scribe recommends using the latest versions of the required software.

If your looking for another way to integrate into Dynamics GP from CRM and you don't need two way synchronization (where if you update the order it flows back into CRM) you could do a one way integration with the Dynamics GP SSIS Toolkit. It costs 1/5 of the price of Scribe and has a very small installation footprint (around 10 MB) and supports every business object that eConnect supports.

We have toyed with SSIS as a platform for integration several times. The Dynamics AX has a tool that they use for Data migration that uses SSIS. I was very impressed.
I am curious though about the "Function Control" at the end of the day many of our integrations are not only integrating data but they transform data into a better format. So formulas that are supported by scribe like STRIPCOMAPNY, PARSENAME, or PROPERCASE are used to "Fix" the SL data. For some reason Order entry clerks don't know how to use the shift key.
I am curious how you guys have done this.

You can do all of those functions using the script component or the derived transformation component in SSIS. So stripping company name, and changing case is actually very easy to do in SSIS.

I believe the best way of migrating data into Microsoft Dynamic CRM is by using SQL Integration Services (SSIS).
You can use SSIS script component to write code using the CRM SDK.
I made a tool that helps generates the DLL required to use from SSIS script component to write Microsoft SDK code. You can download this too for free from this location http://www.ssis4crm.com
You will fined there interactions of doing a simple load.
This way is supported by Microsoft (using MSCRM SDK)

The first step for deploying CRM should be: Get cross department agreement on the functionality you need most. Then look for software that is geared for your needs. There are many good CRM Software programs
available. It can be difficult to determine which, based on a company’s specific needs, are the best ones to evaluate. You can use the CRM Software Comparison tool to narrow down your options to the best short list. It searches 80 CRM software packages and gives instant results, listing only those that match your selected features. And, it is free.

I haven't used Scribe software in awhile. We have so many software reps thatcome through our office and my boss is always switching the programs we use. I think I did like Scribe best, though. IP PBX
