Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an enterprise software that you can use to manage marketing, sales, and customer service. Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides an account management system that tracks activities and revenue.

In a Microsoft Dynamics CRM system, the top-most entity is called an organization. An organization can have multiple business units. Business units can have child business units. The CRM users are assigned to the different business units.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports a rich business entity model. An entity is a container for data, similar to a table in a relational database. Each entity contains a set of attributes. When you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM a set of entities are available by default. Some of these are customizable. In addition, you can create custom entities to contain business data. The owner of an entity can be an organization, a business unit or a user. Entities contain attributes. An attribute is a container for a piece of data in an entity. Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports a wide variety of attribute types. A relationship defines an association between two entities. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Connector supports one-to-many and many-to-many relationships.
