The Q1 2011 release of DefenseReady brings new end-user capabilities as well as updates that support customers’ upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. This release also marks the introduction of DefenseReady features that will focus on an Employee Self Service center.
We’ve added an enhanced Validate My Data component that integrates with SharePoint and allows administrators to enforce data validation at regular intervals. DefenseReady leverages CRM’s built-in case management features to route issues to the proper offices to ensure data validation issues are resolved in a timely and accountable manner.

For security managers, we’ve added several new areas, including foreign travel requests and contacts, facility authorizations, and caveat assignments. For workforce, we’ve released a transmittal log feature that integrates with our existing Military Orders capability.
We’re also proud to announce several new optional components – RECON, a visually enhanced ad-hoc query tool; WebDAV, which allows for much improved usability with attachments; and a SharePoint web part that allows users to easily add DefenseReady views to their pages.
RECON for DefenseReady
Next on our roadmap is the continuation of our Employee Self Service center – users can look forward to improved awards routing, document routing, and easier access to forms. We look forward to a productive summer!
