ActiveIS is proud to announce the availability of one of the UK’s first subscription-based hosted Microsoft Dynamics™ CRM 3.0 solutions, launched to coincide with the release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 by Microsoft Corporation. For the first time within a hosted environment, SME’s are able to utilise Microsoft’s mid-market CRM solution without the expense, or need to deploy the required IT infrastructure locally - allowing you to focus on developing your business instead of getting bogged down with IT.

In conjunction with our partner ThinHost, we offer affordable, rapid access to hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, allowing businesses of all sizes to build lasting customer relationships across their sales, marketing, customer service and field service channels. Organisations will be able to access the service from anywhere in the world through the web, Microsoft Outlook and mobile devices.

Providing Microsoft Dynamics CRM ‘on-demand’ removes the typical upfront capital expenditure associated with IT projects and provides businesses with the assurance of a predictable monthly subscription investment of only £60 per user, per month, without having to commit to a long-term contract.

Customers will be free to move the service to “on-premises” at any time that business needs dictate, or as part of a planned approach - organisations may wish to pilot Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the hosted environment in the first instance, prior to bringing the CRM solution in-house at a later date. Further guidance can be provided in this area if required.

ActiveIS’s experience includes delivering one of the largest Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementations in the UK - full user rollout will make it the largest Microsoft Dynamics CRM implementation across the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa).

The technical infrastructure offers clustered Exchange and SQL servers running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, providing a robust and scalable architecture to support a range of Microsoft and other applications from within a single managed environment. The benefits of this infrastructure include:

• Monthly / per user pricing.
• Access from anywhere in the world.
• Central infrastructure managed by professional engineers.
• Blue chip infrastructure provided to SME clients on an as-needs basis.
• Provision of applications (such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0) that would otherwise be beyond the IT capacity of SME’s.
• Multiple levels of anti-virus and spam protection.
• Seamless software upgrades on your behalf.
