Armanino (formerly Armanino McKenna) has merged in Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SharePoint consulting services company Gradient Vision, in a move to strengthen its own Dynamics CRM.

Joining Armanino is Gradient Vision founder Rajya Bhaiya, who recently co-authored of a series of books on Dynamics CRM entitled "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Unleashed" and "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration Unleashed."

“Our client bases are very complimentary and Gradient Vision has resources and relationships that strengthen our own CRM practice,” said Tom Mescall, partner-in-charge of Armanino’s consulting practice. “SharePoint is also a great technology for businesses that have collaborative cultures. It dramatically reduces or eliminates many cumbersome processes that inhibit productivity and extends collaboration between employees, supply chains and sales channels.”
