CRM OnTarget Deploys Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 And Opens Demo Server

CRM OnTarget the worldwide leading provider of hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM, announced recently that it has successfully deployed multi-tenant Dynamics CRM 4.0 to new customers this month, and the process of upgrading existing customers has begun.

Sean Joseph, a Senior Engineer at CRM OnTarget who had data center responsibility for the multi tenant build out, was enthusiastic. "Our deep experience in hosting the Dynamics and Microsoft HMC platform helped as we were able to build out the infrastructure, test it, and put it into production in less than one month of RTM from Microsoft. We accomplished this in no small part due to Microsoft's thorough vetting of what they released to partners and to the general market."

"This is another significant investment by our leadership team and demonstrates our support of Microsoft's 'power of choice' strategy. Today, instead of putting each client in a single tenant server environment, we are able to load balance thousands of users across application servers, reporting servers, dashboard servers, workflow servers, and a clustered SQL farm. The change in our delivery model is enormous," said Bill McVicker, Director of Engineering at the unit's parent company, TriVenture.

Randal Southam heads up TriVenture's Microsoft practice and shared in the enthusiasm. "In the first month we will deploy no less than ten new accounts and our customers are expected to upgrade at a rate of up to two per day." He noted, "How often do you get to call your customer and say 'your price is going down while your value is increasing' followed by a call to the CEO that your profit margin just increased significantly? It is really a great position for us to be in today and has created a real win for our existing customers."

CRM OnTarget released new pricing for the Dynamics CRM 4.0 environment earlier this month CRM OnTarget Current Pricing.

Dynamics CRM Demo Server Now Available

The Company also announced that it has now made available a demo server which features an out-of-the-box installation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. The server, which replaces the Dynamics CRM 3.0 demo server, has been available since January 10th and allows visitors to completely click through all modules of the Dynamics CRM 4.0 application. The general public may access the server free of charge from CRM OnTarget's Website Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4 Demo Server.
