Hi
Can anyone recommend email marketing software that integrates with Microsoft CRM please. We are currently using Email Reaction which should integrate, but requires more CRM expertise than we have inhouse and seems like it's going to be more costly than migrating to new software.

If you have Microsoft CRM then you should not need email marketing software. MS Outlook, CRM and Business Contact Manager work with each other and can do email marketing for you... In other words you could do email marketing in-house.

Well, it depends on how advanced "advanced" is. But generally speaking most things should be exposable to the .NET framework for you to interact with.

The problem is that the IT guys don't have full control over the CRM and we'd have to rely on a 3rd party supplier to implement any advanced solutions in CRM itself.

Hi Linda,
I would strongly recommend you have a look at our MSCRM integrated solution provided by ExactTarget. More here:

Many thanks

Hi Linda
I'm late to the discussion but we have just released a cost effective solution called eCampign which fully integrates as part of the MS CRM solution and does not have the associated costs of Exact Target or Communigator.
