REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Microsoft Corp. today
began the global launch of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 by announcing the

New CRM Release Delivers Rapid On-Demand Deployment
As a key component of Microsoft’s software plus services strategy,
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 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. Since the initial release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 in
December 2007, customers worldwide have gone into production on the new
platform via both on-premise and on-demand deployment models.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0’s new multitenant architecture allows for a
smoother and quicker deployment in a hosted environment, and within 48
hours of the code becoming available, customers were able to deploy
partner-hosted offerings. Increase Ltd., a hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM
solution provider based in the United Kingdom, began upgrading its hosted
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 customers to the new release on Dec. 17, the
same day that the code was released by Microsoft to partners and customers.
“The first upgrade for our on-demand Microsoft Dynamics CRM customers
was completed just four hours after Microsoft delivered the new 4.0
release,” said Neil Benson, director of Increase. “I’ve been very impressed
by the quality of the product, as well the extensive training and tools
that accompanied this release. Customers are impressed with the rapid
deployment — in fact, it now takes longer to send the contract and receive
the signature than it does to deploy the customer’s hosted system.”
Customers Tout Expanded Global Capabilities
CH2M HILL, an international engineering, procurement, construction and
operations company, is deploying Microsoft Dynamics 4.0 CRM solution as a
standard platform to support enterprisewide business development. Once the
solution is fully integrated into the firm’s business development
operations, 2,500 users will be accessing the system. Microsoft Dynamics
CRM 4.0’s expanded global capabilities — which include multilanguage and
multicurrency — help support the firm’s global operations, which include
more than 23,000 employees in offices worldwide.
“We selected Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 because it had the global
capabilities to support the large-scale rollout to our company’s 12
business units,” said Mark Lasswell, CRM executive sponsor and president of
the Civil Infrastructure Client Group at CH2M HILL. “With the ability to
leverage our existing IT infrastructure — largely Microsoft-based — we
have a single global view for managing accounts and opportunities across
the enterprise.”
Global Launch Tour Brings Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to Customers
Locally
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 world tour begins this week in
Barcelona, Spain; London, United Kingdom; Madrid, Spain; and Vancouver,
Canada, and will include more than 50 cities in 20 countries.
Today Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 is available for on-premise and
on-demand deployments in Danish, English, Finnish, Dutch, French, German,
simplified Chinese and Spanish. Seventeen additional languages — Arabic,
Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Hong Kong Chinese, Hungarian,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish,
traditional Chinese and Turkish — will be released in the next 90 days.
