Microsoft CRM 3.0 pricing posted

With the official release of Microsoft CRM 3.0 yesterday, we updated our CRM license prices for the 3.0 version on our website. You probably know that Microsoft has a "list price" for the licenses, but each partner can sell the licenses at whatever price they want. Hopefully, customers and prospects will think our pricing is fair.

In addition, we created a simple table that outlines the differences between Microsoft CRM 3.0 Small Business Edition and the Professional edition. This table also shows how the two 3.0 modules compare to the six (yes six) different modules in CRM 1.2.

Of course customers also now have the option to rent the Microsoft CRM 3.0 software on a monthly basis with a hosting provider. Because hosting a mission-critical application like CRM requires a very unique infrastructure, we decided not to host Microsoft CRM for our customers. Rather, we are starting to research companies that will offer Microsoft CRM 3.0 hosting so that we can offer that option to our customers. I only know of two companies that offered 1.2 hosting, but it didn't really work too well because of the 1.2 license pricing and the software architecture.

Since 3.0 solves those hosting-related problems, we're hopeful we can find a great hosting partner to work with. If you know someone you would recommend, please let us know!
