The Cloud trials use the Professional version rather than Essentials. This enables you to experiment with all the features of Sage CRM including the Builder.

Thanks Jeff that's the version I wanted!

Your mention of the application builder is of particular interest.

The client who will view the results of this trial is looking at an alternative to Sales Force which allows the creation of a custom object to hold sales ledger data and ODBC / SOAP as tools for its maintenance. Will this be capable of replication in Sage CRM and if so can you point me to any relevant documentation. Is support during the trial period available to show a simple example - for example in SF it is a piece of VB code that takes data from Sage50 and updates a few fields displayed on the SF Account page ?

The Builder will allow you to create a new entity very easily and yes this will be accessible via web services.

You can find the documentation he community.sagecrm.com/.../27076.aspx

There are many articles that explain how the web services can be used.

See: community.sagecrm.com/.../sage-crm-7-2-a-round-up-of-articles-about-using-soap-web-services.aspx

This article is focussed on the on premise product but relevant to the cloud edition.
