Dynamics LIVE CRM - Choice in Deployment and Partner Opportunity

Published 11 July 06 11:46 AM | satyanadella 

This was announced today at WPC in Boston. The demo that Brad did on stage with Steve showed CRM/Office/Windows LIVE all mashed-up!! It was awesome. The key for me is that we are thinking through the partner opportunity every step of the way on this. Everything we do across Dynamics – LIVE or On-Premise will continue to build on the partner model.

 

During my keynote tomorrow, I will show a vertical solution that was built on CRM 3.0 by a partner/ISV (DRS Systems) for the Phrama industry. This solution is provided as a service through another partner (Streamline Solutions). This is a great example of vertical extensibility and software-as-service (SaS) model coming together. We see this as an increasing trend our goal with Dynamics will be support this model along with LIVE, On-premise.

With the announcement of CRM Live, the first question that comes to mind is how can VARs and SMB partners with CRM competency make money or compete with CRM Live. With Microsoft own hosting, wouldn't CRM Live be the easiest and cheapest way to get up and running? How can CRM VARs be profitable? Is there any reason for a MBS partner whose focus is in the SMB sector to develop the CRM competency in this situation?

Satya:

I ran Baan in Asia during th crazy years of 1996 to 1998 (the company went from nothing to a market cap of $7b). I read stuff on MS business apps frequently.

You have done great work - I have seen the movement from Great Plains to Navision to where you are at now. Well done.

Having said this, I think you guys can do more in Asia and emerging markets.
