• This whitepaper is a guide for technical decision makers comparing the xRM application framework and Force.com for building business applications. While the two have many technical similarities, they also have important differences. This paper illustrates why xRM is clearly the superior choice for independent software vendors (ISVs) and enterprises to build business applications. We closely examine the three major advantages of xRM that stand out:
  
  1. xRM provides familiar, widely used technologies for developers.
  2. xRM allows deploying applications both in the cloud and on-premises.
  3. xRM benefits from Microsoft’s broad platform investments.
