Now that the hot new Microsoft Dynamics CRM version 2011 is just around the corner Microsoft is offering a pretty nice promotion for users of several competing products. It’s called “Cloud CRM for Less”.

Not only are they offering discounted pricing, they’re giving cash back when you switch from Salesforce.com, Siebel CRM, or Oracle CRM On-Demand!

The discounted price is $34 per user per month. That’s pretty compelling compared to other systems at $65, $125 or more.

On top of that, they’re giving back $200 cash per user license purchased! So for example if you switch 30 users you get $6,000 back.

To qualify you need to switch from one of the qualifying products, purchase at least 15 user licenses of Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, and sign a two year agreement.

A Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 30 Day Trial of the current version is at http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crmresults/countdown/thirtyday.aspx

A beta  trial version of the new Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Online is at http://offers.crmchoice.com/CRM2011Beta-Landing

The new Microsoft CRM 2011 version is really slick! If you’re using a competing product give Microsoft CRM 2011 a look.

This is a pretty nice promotion.

Essentially, when you buy Microsoft Dynamics CRM licensing or other qualifying products by June 26th, 2009 you get a subsidy check back from Microsoft that can be used toward software or services with a reseller or consultant who’s a qualified Microsoft partner.

So as an example, let’s say you need Microsoft Dynamics CRM Professional for 25 users. The subsidy check back to you would be $2,835. Pretty nice.
