Attach2Dynamics: A Cost-Effective Solution for Saving Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Storage Space

By | March 11, 2023

Norton PVT LTD is a company that deals in precision equipment and understands the importance of keeping track of their communication with clients. They use Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM to store and manage their email content and attachments. However, as their business grew, they found themselves exceeding the 20 GB file storage capacity of Dynamics 365 CRM. While Dynamics 365 CRM is an excellent tool for managing customer relationships, it is not the best suit for managing large volumes of attachments and email content on its own.

Now John, the IT Admin at Norton PVT LTD, is faced with the daunting task of finding a solution to save storage space without compromising on the integrity of the data. As purchasing additional storage space was costly, with CRM database storage costing $40 per GB/month, file capacity costing $2 per GB/month, and log capacity costing $10 per GB per month. He needed to find a more cost-effective solution. Deleting important attachments to save storage space was also not an option, as it could result in losing valuable data.

After much research, John found Attach2Dynamics, a Microsoft AppSource Preferred App by Inogic that enables users to move email attachments from Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM to cloud storage platforms like Dropbox, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint. Allowing users to store email content and attachments without overloading their Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM.

Using Attach2Dynamics helped Norton Pvt Ltd store their email content and attachments in multiple cloud storage platforms, which is more cost-effective than adding storage to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM. This solution not only saved Norton Pvt Ltd money but also allowed them to maintain the integrity of their data.
