PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) At the CRM Software Blog website Microsoft Dynamics CRM experts provide reviews, comparisons and opinions to professionals in the CRM software selection process. But the biggest question CRM Software buyers want answered is, "How much does Microsoft Dynamics CRM cost?"
Now CRM software buyers can use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Quick Quote Cost Estimate tool to get budgetary pricing for both Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premise and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. The unique feature of this quick quote tool is that it not only calculates the software license fees (for either online or on-premise) it also estimates the cost of implementation and training (either basic or advanced) provided by an experienced Microsoft Dynamics CRM partner. While the CRM Quick Quote tool is not meant as a binding proposal, it aims to give buyers a fairly accurate estimate to begin the budgeting process. After receiving the budgetary cost estimate, CRM software buyers can visit the Directory of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Partners to find a local expert that can provide a detailed, customized proposal with final pricing.
CRM software buyers researching pricing with the quick quote tool are presented with the following options:
Microsoft Dynamics CRM System Selection Options:
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online: Software Subscription. You pay a monthly subscription fee per named user for on-demand software hosted by Microsoft. In this model your company does not own the software. Maintenance fees are included in the cost. Includes Sales, Service, Marketing Functionality.
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM On Premise: Software Purchase. You pay a one time fee to purchase the CRM server license and named user licenses and have it installed on your own servers/hardware. In this model your company owns the software. Includes Sales, Service, Marketing Functionality. No user minimum.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Implementation Options:
- Basic CRM: Includes Business and Functional Requirements Review, Basic Customization and Configuration, Basic user and administration training.
- Basic CRM Plus: Includes Business and Functional Requirements Review, Advanced Customization and Configuration, User Training, Administrator Training, Data Configuration, 1 SQL Report Design.
- Advanced CRM: For companies with detailed reporting requirements, 3rd party integrations, complex data migrations. Includes all elements in CRM and CRM Plus and extensive customization work.
In the first 30 days after the tool was launched on January 1, 2011, 77 companies have requested a Dynamics CRM Quick Quote. 41 percent chose the Dynamics CRM On Premise option. 58 percent chose the Dynamics CRM Online option. The average employee count of these companies was 123. The average number of CRM users requested for pricing was 63. Of the companies that chose to list their current CRM software, 23 percent are using SalesForce.com. At this time the CRM Quick Quote tool does not calculate Dynamics CRM promotions such as the $200 incentive to switch from SalesForce to Dynamics CRM.
"The CRM Software Blog receives over 15,000 visitors each month and has been growing rapidly. The release of the CRM Quick Quote tool is a benefit both to our readers and our members," says CRM Software Blog Manager, Anya Ciecierski.
Each time a company requests a Dynamics CRM Quick Quote they are referred to a local Microsoft Dynamics CRM partner that is a member of the CRM Software Blog. One Utah based Dynamics CRM partner closed a 16 seat CRM Online deal within one week of receiving a CRM Quick Quote referral from the CRM Software Blog. This proves that the Dynamics CRM pricing presented was accurate and requested by a company that was far along in the buying cycle.
"We spend a lot of money on Pay Per Click but I feel that the clicks we are getting from the blog sites are better quality, and are from business decision makers doing real research - all for a much lower cost," says CRM Software Blog member Tom Rogers from Intellitec Solutions.
The CRM Software Blog allows three CRM partners to represent each state or territory and includes a directory of Microsoft Dynamics CRM experts by state. Memberships are also open to companies that provide Microsoft Dynamics CRM add on ISV solutions. Similar group blogs have a waiting list for membership, especially in popular areas such as California, Illinois and New York. Microsoft CRM partners interested in membership can contact info@crmsoftwareblog. Members receive tips on creating educational content and training on blogging best practices.

2011-03-03
Following the recent paperwork issues -- specifically "robo-signing" documents without reading them -- that plagued the banking industry's handling of foreclosures, the last thing the financial sector needs is another scandal. However, yet another black eye has appeared in the ongoing foreclosure saga: bank break-ins.

Four Vehicle Crash On I-95 kills Two
2011-03-03
A serious car and truck accident on I-95 involved four vehicle and seven people, leaving a trail of twisted wreckage and two dead in Palm Bay. A semi-truck struck two cars and a pick-up as the vehicles slowed for a lane change caused by road construction.
Highway patrol on the scene stated that the truck never applied any brakes until it struck the first car, then a second car, and finally the pickup, which caught fire. An off-duty police officer with a fire extinguisher, who was working traffic control for the construction company, rescued the driver of that vehicle.

Social Security Disability Applications: Understanding SSDI and SSI
2011-03-03
When people hear the words "Social Security", they generally think of three things: retirement benefits, survivor benefits and disability benefits.

The basic distinction between SSDI and SSI eligibility is based on the applicant's work history, and therefore whether the person has been a sufficient contributor to the Social Security system. Eligibility for ...
Abundant ammonia aids life's origins
2011-03-03
An important discovery has been made with respect to the possible inventory of molecules available to the early Earth. Scientists led by Sandra Pizzarello, a research professor at Arizona State University, found large amounts of ammonia in a primitive Antarctic asteroid. This high concentration of ammonia could account for a sustained source of reduced nitrogen essential to the chemistry of life.
The work is being published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The paper is titled, "Abundant ammonia in primitive asteroids and the case ...

Distractions Are Dangerous for Everyone on the Road
2011-03-03
The dangers of distracted driving are well established at this point. When drivers choose not to devote their full attention to the road, whether because they are sending text message or fiddling with the radio, the likelihood of car accidents increases.
However, drivers are not the only people who can cause car accidents while distracted. When pedestrians and cyclists are not paying proper attention while crossing the streets, they can pose a risk to themselves and others. According to 2009 statistics from the Illinois Department of Transportation, more than 5,300 car ...
