Microsoft discounts CRM online at launch

Microsoft will give discounted pricing for the launch of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online when it is launched in January.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online will launch in Australia in January 2011 at a local promotional price of $42.25 ex-GST per user, per month for the first 12 months of service.

The software giant planned to make the promotion available to new customers from launch until June 30, 2011 from the standard price of $54.75 (ex-GST).

Partners can receive 40 percent margin on the value of new subscriptions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online during the same period.

Microsoft’s corporate vice president of business solutions, Kirill Tatarinov, made the announcement at Convergence 2010 Europe in London.

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 release was made available in beta last month for both cloud-based and on-premise deployments worldwide hosted in its global data centres. It will be released to customers and hosting partners for on-premise deployment as Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.
