Dynamics CRM On-Premises (In House)

Dynamics CRM is available on-premise, on your own servers.  Prices vary depending on if you are a charity, or have a specific Microsoft agreement in place.  The following information gives details of agreements that are available:

Select Plus Agreements / MPSA

Microsoft provides a Microsoft Products and Services Agreement.  This agreement provides one single source for software and services and is a non-expiring agreement.  The MPSA will replace the Select Agreement and is best suited for organisations over 250 workstations / PCs.  The MPSA also allows purchase of online and software assurance.  You apply your volume discount for every purchase and it also allows you to purchase from multiple partners.

New Select Plus Agreements will not be available after July 2015 and previous purchase information is not being brought over to the new portal, therefore we strongly recommend to talk to us to make the transition to the MPSA early.

Volume Licensing

Volume licensing is perfect for small and mid-sized organisations.  There are three options:

  • Open Value : for organisations with just 5 PCs and above.  The Open Value helps to manage software costs and also gives access to training, software upgrades and deployment planning.  This is a 3 year term agreement and software assurance is included.
  • Open License : This is great for organisations who want to pay as they go and are making an initial purchase of 5 software licenses.  This is a good choice for charities and corporates.  It is a 2 year agreement and offers good discounts and savings.  Software assurance will need to be added.
  • Open Value Subscriptions : boasts the lowest up front initial spend with the flexibility to reduce licensing costs if the PC user number reduces.  Government organisations have a one year option term and for other sectors it is a 3 year term agreement.  Software Assurance is included.

If you would like a competitive quote for on premise licenses, please contact us.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM License Option Types and Functionality

In Dynamics CRM 2011 there are three types of license.  A full license, a Limited and Employee Self Service CAL.  There are also device CALs available.

With Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Microsoft introduced a 3 tier license programme.  The license model (Professional, Basic and Essential) is available for 2013 implementations.  This framework was retained for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and 2016 versions.

Each Dynamics CRM license has extra functionality.

The Professional license is the full license most popular license for sales, service and marketing.  The Basic license is suited for those who use accounts, contacts, leads, cases and reporting but does not include opportunity management.  The Essential license is designed for users who are not tied to sales, service or marketing roles, but still require some access to CRM.

There is an Enterprise license which includes a unified service desk, Parature enterprise and Dynamics Marketing enterprise. This license is available for around £124.00 per user per month and an organisation must have 5 professional licenses in use.

Additionally, if you have 10 Professional users or more, then social listening and social analysis features are available.
