•  Perform optional MS CRM customization for CRM Adapter users. 
This implementation varies from the other Cisco adapter implementations.  
The Microsoft CRM Adapter extends the Microsoft CRM application to 
include administration tools and an agent user interface, the Cisco Contact 
Center, which allows agents to receive screen pops, manage their calls and 
control their channel work sessions.   
Pre-Installation Requirements 
The Cisco CRM Adapter for Microsoft CRM 3.0 is installed upon the 
Microsoft CRM server.  It extends the Microsoft CRM application with 
new menu options and web-page forms that serve as administrative and 
agent user interfaces.    
What you will need. 
Microsoft CRM User Account 
Installation requires a Microsoft CRM user account with administration 
privileges.  You will need account credentials to complete the installation.  
The account becomes the “owner” of the Microsoft CRM application 
extensions.  It will also be used to administer contact center 
configurations and agents.   
SQL Server Account 
Installation requires an SQL Server account with schema create, modify 
and delete privileges.  This account will be used to create and own the 
application adapter schema.   
A SQL Server account with full access rights on the CRM application 
adapter schema is also required to access the database on behalf of 
application adapter web services.  This can be the same account or a 
different account.  By default, the installation configures the installation 
database credentials for web services access. 
As part of the installation, The Cisco adapter installs a data schema in the 
Microsoft CRM SQL Server instances.  
Supported Operating Systems and Environments 
•  The Cisco CRM Adapter for Microsoft CRM 3.0 has the same 
operating system requirements as the Microsoft CRM system.   
•  Windows patches should be up-to-date before installing the adapter. 
•  It may be installed upon the same Microsoft IIS used for Microsoft 
CRM system. 
•  The data schema may be installed upon the same SQL Server instance 
used for the Microsoft CRM system.
