There are 3 deployment models for Microsoft CRM; On Premise, Online and Partner Hosted. There are both usability and cost differences with each model, this article summarizes each model and points out some key differences in the models. With Microsoft you have the flexibility to switch models easily as your needs and requirements change. Whether you need to expand or leverage the application for different areas of your business, or if you simply need to scale the solution as you grow your business, Microsoft Dynamics CRM will be able to accommodate your evolving needs.
On Premise – This is the traditional way software was implemented in businesses. Licensing is purchased along with any necessary infrastructure. And installed at the customers office (or a co-location data center). Purchase is made upfront (or on a lease) so it is a capital expenditure. There are potential tax advantages to this model as you can depreciate this investment. In this model you own the hardware and software and fully control the data. Ongoing expenses would be for Software Assurance (maintenance from Microsoft) and maintenance for the hardware that Microsoft CRM runs on. Additional soft costs would be for internal IT resources to manage the infrastructure...

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online includes an Internet Marketing feature that allows you to very easily build and deploy website landing pages and contact forms for collecting leads off the Internet. Microsoft will even host these pages for you or you can generate the HTML and host the pages on your web server.
This feature is completely non-technical and allows you to easily build the landing pages and contact forms.Within minutes, you can have a form created on your site with up 34 fields that will flow directly into Microsoft CRM. You decide which fields to use and how to arrange them, and which fields are Mandatory.
And best of all, all leads automatically are imported to a queue and assigned as a lead in Microsoft CRM. It also supports any field customizations you have implemented in the leads module in CRM. For example let’s say you have added profiling fields to collect information such as industry, product interest etc… these fields will be selectable for inclusion on your landing page form. It also automatically formats fields (for example if one of your fields is a list of selectable values) it will be presented the same on the online form.
This is...

If you haven’t seen the movie or read the book Moneyball I highly recommend it. The movie is based on the true story of the Oakland Athletics baseball team. After several seasons of painful losses, the team's general manager, Billy Beane, adopted a radical, statistics-driven approach to building a competitive baseball team under an ownership that underinvested in the franchise. He faced resistance, lack of buy in and even public humiliation to change the way the organization operated. With his career on the line he stayed the course and ultimately his methods were proven successful.
Anyone who has ever led significant change within a business can certainly relate…
There are a few lessons that we can take away from this story:
Understand the need for change – When things are not working it is time to reevaluate. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In Moneyball the change factor was technology. Using technology the A’s figured out a winning formula and put the necessary pieces in place to support this formula. They were able to acquire the necessary talent at a lower cost because other organizations were...
