Ben Riga ( Microsoft ) and Jason Hunt ( Invoke Systems ) gave a pretty good presentation of how Dynamics CRM can be used as an application development platform – not just a CRM system.

It was really good to finally see what kind of applications Invoke Systems has produced.  Jason gives demonstrations of a couple of their solutions and you really get to see the potential of using CRM as a starting point for your solution development.

The presentation is a bit over an hour and 15 minutes, but it's worth the time.
