UPDATE: The Microsoft Dynamics CRM Deal, Onboarding and Account Planning Process has been updated and now imports without an errors. If you want to uninstall the solution you may need to deactive the relevant processes first.
My financial service business template is now Live! Some of you saw this during the CRM 2013 Beta and the training blitz, others may of seen this during this weeks Convergence 2013 EMEA. You can download the solution here. ITs free but you will need to login with your Microsoft Live/Hotmail/Outlook.com ID.
In the next few weeks I will write an article in the solutions area of my site about how it was built and I’ll be posting updates and enhancements. In the meantime please download, rate and leave comments. Thank You!
Solution Description:
This business process guides financial organizations through the complete client lifecycle for new and existing customers – from initial data gathering and on-boarding to account planning and execution. This solution gives ongoing visibility into the status of client relationships, so that you can handle deals consistently and drive successful outcomes.
This solution includes:
• Six business processes to handle onboarding and account management for new and existing clients.
• Two dashboards: one tailored for account planning and one for onboarding new clients.
• Two dialogs to help employees gather required information from clients.
• Workflows and security roles to support the business processes.
• Three custom entities: Account Plan, Account Plan Product, and Onboarding.
• Demo data so that you can experiment with the processes and see how they work.
Important: This solution is not supported by Microsoft. It is intended to serve only as a template for customizations in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Hi Mark. I liked the process a lot.
I tried to load the solution on CRM Online. It fails to complete.
Any ideas?
Yes I know, the solution name was changed and believe it or not they created one that is too long. I am waiting for them to republish. In the meantime:
• Extract the solution
• Open the solution.xml file
• The name in the third line in solution.xml, enclosed between tags and needs to be made shorter. A name like DealtoAccountPlanning should be fine
• Rezip the extracted contents and import into CRM
Sorry for the confusion. I will tweet as soon as the one on-line is fixed. Hopefuly a matter of days,
