Microsoft Dynamics CRM is software from Microsoft supporting Customer Relationship Management processes out-of-the-box. Existing version for On-Premises is called Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement and the online version has evolved into a number of apps built on the Power Platform.
Already in the early versions Microsoft Dynamics CRM could be extended to support any relationship and xRM became a concept among the people implementing solutions build on this platform. Over the years there have been several versions of this software.
