Hello all!
I have been out talking with a lot of customers and prospects over the last few weeks and I wanted to bring to your attention that Microsoft Dynamics CRM does have an online SaaS offering. It is branded Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and it has been available for several years now. I am still amazed at how many people do not realize this! Dynamics CRM Online is sold on a per user per month basis and customers can go to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online website and actually sign up for a free 30 day trial. This is a great way to “get your feet wet” if you are evaluating Dynamics CRM. I do caution that though it is extremely easy to use, please engage with Perficient to help you through the acclimation process. Without some guidance, you may spend a significant amount of time going through screens just to see “what’s in there”. Because there is a lot! Using Dynamics CRM Online is a great way to start a proof of concept or possibly a departmental project before jumping into a full-scale CRM transformation. We have had great success with this process.
One of the reasons Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online is a great way to get going is because it is the same code base as the on-premise version. Whether you start with Dynamics CRM Online and then decide to move your implementation on-premise, it is an easy transition. All of the configuration and customizations that you created will migrate over…and it works the other way as well. If you currently are running on-premise, but the operational expense aspects of SaaS fits more with your business, you can move Dynamics CRM to the cloud.
If you are interested in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online or need more information please contact us and we will happily walk you through the all the possibilities.
