Microsoft Cuts CRM 4.0 Costs

Copenhagen, Denmark - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 31, 2007 - The Convergence 2007 Copenhagen customer event gathered leading hosting firms from around the world, committed to delivering on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) solutions based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, formerly code-named ”Titan,” scheduled for release later this year.

As international hosting firms support Microsoft Dynamics strategy for Software Plus Services, Microsoft has announced plans to lower the subscription licensing fees paid by its global hosting partners for Microsoft Dynamics CRM by approximately 40 percent. The lower licensing fees will enable Microsoft’s hosting partners to invest more in building out their CRM offerings and growing their customer base. This price reduction is consistent with Microsoft’s long-standing strategy to deliver more affordable CRM technology through on-premise and partner-hosted deployments as well as the new Microsoft Dynamics CRM Live service.

Partners building new on-demand solutions on Microsoft Dynamics CRM include Mondo A/S, a leading Danish IT services company; JayThom Pty Ltd., a hosted and on-premise Microsoft Dynamics CRM provider in Australia; EveryWare AG, a leading hosted business applications provider in Switzerland; and Increase Ltd., a U.K.-based hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution provider. These new partners join an extensive range of existing partners around the world that deliver on-demand solutions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resource planning (ERP) products.

Brad Wilson, General Manager of Microsoft Dynamics CRM at Microsoft explained, ”We’re committed to delivering the power of choice to our customers and to our partners. With our global partner network and single Microsoft Dynamics CRM code base, we’re able to deliver the right combination of on-premise and on-demand solutions for customers of any size around the world.”

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 offers a software platform that is fully multi-tenant and highly scalable, and supports multiple languages and currencies. By using a single code base for on-premise and on-demand deployments, customers are able to choose whichever model suits their business and IT needs, and to change their option over time if their needs or preferences change. In addition to a choice of deployment options, Microsoft Dynamics CRM delivers a highly productive, role-tailored user experience across a wide range of user interfaces, including Microsoft Office Outlook, Windows Internet Explorer and a broad range of mobile devices.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides a key aspect of Microsoft’s software plus services strategy. It delivers rich CRM capabilities that may be deployed as a traditional on-premise solution, as a Web-based on-demand solution, or as a flexible mix of on-premise software and on-demand services. This delivers unparalleled flexibility that allows businesses to get the most from their existing client and server systems while leveraging on-demand services where it makes sense for the business.

Partners such as Mondo, a listed international IT service company that delivers hosting and IT solutions and has switched from salesforce.com to Microsoft Dynamics CRM, clearly see business opportunities through a software plus services model.

Lars Munch Johansen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Mondo remarked, ”We’re now 100 percent vested in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. It wasn’t a difficult decision to switch to Microsoft Dynamics CRM; the rich feature set coupled with the power of choice to switch seamlessly between hosted and on-site deployments, and customers’ option to buy up front or pay as they go, squarely addresses our customers’ needs in a way no other company can rival.”

Customers have the flexibility to choose on-demand versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM and ERP solutions that are now available from nearly 100 partners in 30 countries. They can choose solutions that are customized for a specific vertical industry or region, or client-specific solutions that are developed by partners. Partners that offer these types of on-demand Microsoft Dynamics CRM and ERP solutions include Affordable Business Solutions Pvt. Ltd., CRM OnTarget/TriVenture, CRM-Resultants, NextCorp Ltd. and Sandhills Publishing Co.

NuBlue Video Webmail

Here’s Looking at You - with Video Webmail from NuBlue

NuBlue Digital Web Solutions ( http://www.nublue.co.uk ), based in Lancaster, becomes the first UK hosting company to provide video webmail - so customers can keep abreast of loved ones and colleagues, complete with image, motion and sound, from anywhere worldwide.

The new NuBlue service is offered to hosting customers at no extra cost, and avoids the need for expensive software or video phones. Users can, quite simply, send and receive video emails through a browser interface (similar to Hotmail). All the user needs is a computer, a webcam and a NuBlue hosting account.

As well as being invaluable for those who are geographically separated from their loved ones, the service is ideal for home workers who can use it for business communication - putting a ‘face to the name’, without the need for expensive and time-consuming travel to meetings.

Michael Ashworth, director of NuBlue Digital Web Solutions, says: “Video email has been around for a number of years and often involved costly additional technology, such as phones and software. However, the technology has advanced and simplified, making it easier to deploy. As a result, we’ve been working on integrating the webcam application into our webmail system for a number of months. We believe we’re the first UK hosting company to offer this service to customers - free of charge and with unlimited video emails - as part of our overall hosting package.”

He adds: “More than 3.1 million workers in the UK are regularly home-based and, of this number, 2.4 million use computers and telecoms for their jobs. In addition, 39% of small businesses are home-based*. One of the main barriers to home working can be finding a viable substitute for face-to-face discussions. Although people may live in Spain or even on a beach in India, but work in London virtually, they need to keep in touch frequently with colleagues, friends and family - and normal email doesn’t always cut the mustard. With this in mind, we believe our video mail application really does help the world become a smaller place!”

NuBlue believes the timing of its video email launch is perfect, as the latest laptops are being released with built-in webcam technology. “People have become accustomed to webcams,” says Ashworth, “and the ‘vmail’ industry looks set to grow and grow.”

Notes to editors:

NuBlue Digital Web Solutions is based in the InfoLab21 building at Lancaster University; a renowned international centre for internet and communication technologies. The company offers a full range of internet services - from tier one hosting packages to award-winning web development and search engine optimisation.

Aplus.Net Website, Re-Branded

Overland Park, Kansas - (The Hosting News) - October 26, 2007 - Web host and Internet solutions provider, Aplus.Net, has unveiled a newly launched campaign, designed to introduce new branding, with an eye toward maximizing exposure through products and promotions.

Gabriel Murphy, President and CEO of Aplus.Net noted, ”With new ownership, new management, a new corporate headquarters, a new web design brand, and now an all-new website, there are some very exciting changes happening. We’ve worked hard to improve the company in dramatic ways, and we felt it was important to communicate to the world that we are essentially a new Aplus.Net.”

The campaign was launched to put a face on the many changes Aplus.Net has undergone since new ownership took over in the latter part of 2006. New ads were designed to serve as a visual extension of the company’s redesigned website, which was rolled out during the final days of September and which features a more modern design and a more customer-friendly interface.

Aplus.Net’s acquisition of the WebImage web design firm in August led to an overhauled web design product offering, which is also actively promoted in the new ads. The campaign was also designed to tie in to Aplus.Net’s current promotions, an across-the-board series of sales that offer aggressive discounts on shared hosting, dedicated hosting, and web design. In addition, the ads serve as a prelude to announcements of further improvements, which are imminent.

The company launched the campaign in mid-October. The new ads can already be seen throughout the Internet.However, company officials emphasized that, while there are many new elements to Aplus.Net, its well-known products, services, and support, for which the company has received acclaim and numerous awards, have not been lost.

Mr. Murphy added, ”Part of the greatness of the Aplus.Net brand is its longevity. Having started offering shared hosting in the 1990s, this company has survived the dot-com boom to become one of the world’s longest-lasting hosting providers. What existed before 2007 - from our state-of-the-art data center to our commitment to the success of America’s small businesses - has not been lost, but only improved. We still offer the same great services that won Aplus.Net the CNET Editors’ Choice Award in 2003.
