Hosted Microsoft CRM in a Tier 1 DataCenter
|
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM hosted solution is built on the same code base as the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Version 4.0 Professional Edition. Hosting Microsoft Dynamics
CRM allows you to customize the user interface, on-line or off-line usage, and flexible
solutions and deployment options.
When looking to host Microsoft Dynamics CRM, there are a few things to consider:
Q: Will you be hosting your Exchange, or just Microsoft Dynamics CRM Version
4.0?
A: If you just host Microsoft Dynamics CRM, then connecting to your on-site Exchange
server can get expensive.
Q: Does your IT Team have time to manage the Microsoft Dynamics CRM environment?
A: If you do not have a dedicated IT Team, or your IT Team is overloaded hosting
may be a great option for you.

Microsoft CRM Live provides businesses with a Microsoft-hosted CRM system, and is
available throughout the United States and Canada. Dynamics CRM Live is designed
with the same code base as the on-premise or partner-hosted solutions for Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 4.0. Unlike other hosted CRM systems, CRM Live customers have
the option of upgrading their deployment model when their needs or requirements
change. This is quite an advantage for growing businesses. Additionally,
Microsoft's hosted CRM solution is significantly less expensive than other hosted
CRM solutions, such as SalesForce.com.
Microsoft now provides a web-based hosted CRM they brand as CRM Live.
CRM Live can be accessed via Outlook or a Web browser and offers rich configuration
and customization capabilities. CRM Live is temporarily completely free of
charge from Microsoft and signup is only availabe from Microsoft Partners.
Once Microsoft ends their free period, CRM Live Professional Edition
will be priced at $44/user/month, and includes the online
Sales, Service and Marketing business suite as well as point-and-click system and
workflow customization.
The CRM Live Enterprise Edition will be priced at $59/user/month,
and includes all features available in the Professional Edition, as well as additional
system customization and integration, and offline data access and synchronization.
A trained partner, such as Miles Consulting Corp, is required to enroll customers
in Microsoft Hosted CRM Live. Enrollment is a 2 minute process that can occur
over the phone. It does require a credit card, but Microsoft will not charge
the card until the free trial period has ended. Customers can cancel their
use of CRM Live prior charges being made on their card.
