After a very long gap.. back to the blog writing.. this time with a solution to all the CRM implementations who are having trouble with their Database Size.
In one of the projects i worked we came across a situation where the Database is at the threshold level, and the analysis showed that the 75% of the Database is taken by the Email Attachments. which constitutes most of the space. and the business need is such that we couldn't delete old emails to get relieved of attachments.
The Solution came up was to use Share point!!!
yes! share point is the best solution to store documents and attachments which could store the attachments storage and we can give the link of the storage folder to an Iframe in the Email form.
Below is the link to the solution developed by me for archiving the email attachments to SharePoint folders.
