Burlington, MA – September 30, 2009 – groupSPARK, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and the leading provider of private-label hosted software services, today announced the immediate availability of hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. The release of hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM enables reseller partners to offer their small and mid-size business (SMB) customers a new enterprise-class hosted software service in addition to hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, Windows SharePoint Services and email archiving which they are currently able to resell under their own brands.
Hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft applications such as Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Office Excel and allows SMB customers to more efficiently target new clients, drive sales and establish long-term customer relationships. Such capabilities as creating targeted marketing campaigns, analyzing customer data and reporting on sales opportunities in real time, help to streamline sales, marketing and customer service efforts, thereby increasing corporate productivity.
With the addition of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 to its current offering of hosted business services, groupSPARK resellers can now present their customers with a full breadth of services under their own brand through groupSPARK’s Private-Label Application Delivery (PLAD) platform. groupSPARK’s PLAD platform enables its reseller partners to resell these services in as little as 30 minutes using their own corporate branding and URL. It is another opportunity for them to expand their relationship with their customers and increase monthly recurring revenue per user. Resellers are also able to focus on their core strengths while groupSPARK focuses on providing best-in-class live 24 x 7 x 365 U.S.-based technical support, server maintenance and monitoring, anti-virus and anti-spam protection and guaranteed uptime.
