Event Manager for Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Gap Consulting's Event Manager for Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM supports the organisation and management of multiple Event types, from large conferences, to smaller seminars and training courses.  All areas of Event management can be carried out within Microsoft Dynamics CRM, even the creation of each Event ‘mini site’ or page.



And, because you are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you display and promote your events on the web with a professional look and feel, then handle enquiries and registrations in a timely and consistent manner.  All registrations can be processed in Microsoft Dynamics CRM and many tasks such as confirmation emails can be automated to reduce office administration and enhance customer service.

What's more, if you invest in Events to enhance your sales potential, you can use our solution to assess the true value of your corporate hospitality because Microsoft Dynamics CRM can also manage your sales data.  

  • Manage interactions with speakers, sponsors and exhibitors
  • Take online and manual registrations to unlimited Events
  • Create and manage Event details within Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM which automatically display in your web portal, without web authoring know-how
  • Manage Event capacity and wait listing
  • Select Event-appropriate templates to format your Events and promote your brand
  • Create and manage Event forms which can contain specific online registration questions related to the type of registration
  • Control web registration content and parameters
  • Manage pricing options and discounts that entice attendees to your Events

  • Developed using a single code base for all deployment scenarios including CRM Online, On-Premise, and Partner Hosted.

1. How much does Event Manager cost?

Gap Consulting Event Manager for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 costs £4,995 exclusive of VAT (if in UK).
This includes 1 day remote installation effort, 0.5 days remote training, 0.5 days basic portal branding and software maintenance for year one.  You have the option to renew software maintenance in year 2 at 20% of the current software cost.

2. How many environments does an Event Manager licence cover?

You will require 1 licence per Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Organisation, regardless of how many environments you have for that CRM 2011 Organisation.
For example, if you move your Development Organisation through a System Test, UAT, and Live environment, then you still only need 1 licence. If you have two different Organisations, running different solutions then you would require 2 licences.

3. What Microsoft Dynamics CRM licences do I require?

You will need to licence your CRM server/s and your internal CRM users.  If your registration portal services your end customers, you will need a CRM external connector licence.  If your registration portal services your employees, and is therefore internally facing, you will need CRM ESS (Employee Self-Service) licences for those employee users.

Within the solution we will provide you with an Adxstudio Portals licence which will deliver the online registration site.  We are happy to provide licensing advice for your full Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution, so please Contact Us if you want to discuss your options.

4. Can I implement Event Manager myself?

It is our policy to take responsibility for the installation of all Manager Suite solutions.
