I am putting in a bid for a company wishing a CRM system. One of my buddies suggested using MS CRM instead of starting from scratch and customising it. Anyone have any experience with it.

They ended up canning our year or work and bought an off the shelf solution!!
Just because .net and Java were the latest they thought they could do a great diy job.
In fairness, it was rather good and did the job, but, not sure it was worth a team of 10 for a year to do it!! -
Yeah - it's okay...
