Can we use both Dynamics CRM and SharePoint packages at one time and get the benefit out of it?
Yes, you can use both these applications and get the benefit out of it. Microsoft Dynamics CRM and SharePoint are two different applications altogether. You can have both the applications but their features and uses are different.
I am considering subscribing for Dynamics CRM package with you. How is your package different from that offered by Microsoft itself?
The biggest differentiators in the cloud are the cost and the level of service and attention a customer can get. We are one of the most cost-effective providers for Hosted Microsoft Dynamic CRM. While, support with many providers is only limited to the administrators of the account; we provide support directly to the end users too; thereby saving time for company administrators. Our support is available to you 24 X 7 via chat, phone, and e-mail. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is an out-of-the-box solution, thus we provide same features for CRM as Microsoft do.
Can I test the services with one of your CRM account?
You can test the services with one of our CRM accounts as we provide 30-day money back guarantee on the plan.
Do you have an option where you provide me the server with OS along with IIS and I take care of my other software needs?
Yes, you can refer to our Hyper-V offerings; whereby we provide you with a server which has just the OS. All other applications can be installed by you. View more details.
Do you charge any set up fee?
No, there are no setup fees for hosted Dynamic CRM offering.
Do you offer other resources and training with your Dynamics CRM plan?
We have help documents and videos which will allow you to get up to pace quickly with your Dynamic CRM instance. Besides, our support is available 24 X 7 and can be reached via chat/e-mail and phone.
Can we try your service for 3 months at the monthly price and then decide to pay annually for the 10% discount? Is that possible?
