Fully customizable CRM solution extends company's collaboration portfolio

Alexandria, VA (January 20, 2009) - Managed Company, an emerging software as a service (SaaS) provider specializing in  messaging, eBusiness and collaboration solutions, has announced that it is now offering Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 as a hosted service. This offering extends Managed Company's reach within the productivity and collaboration space, offering an easily deployable and customizable customer relationship management (CRM) solution to its existing hosted Exchange email and collaboration, SharePoint collaboration platform and Office Communications Server instant messaging and presence services.

Unlike other one-size-fits-all hosted CRM offerings, Managed Company's hosted Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 integrates with our Online Business Platform, an integrated system that runs your website, email marketing and online shop. Customized with Dynamics CRM now you can grow your customer database linking your online business with your in-house operations.  This level of customization is possible because each CRM customer is guaranteed its own virtual dedicated server. Other vendors rely on shared server infrastructure and a basic control panel which limit their ability to meet every customer's specific needs. With Managed Company's new offering, customers gain a clear competitive edge because they are able to narrow sales leads, tactics, and sales and marketing campaigns to their unique core competencies and market demands. Managed Company's channel partners gain an enhanced revenue stream from the opportunity to fine-tune and tailor the CRM solution to the needs of each customer.

"Managed Company's hosted Dynamics CRM 4.0 enables us to add a high-margin recurring revenue stream offering into our product mix that tightly integrates into our existing hosted Exchange offerings," said Joseph Kowalenko, President of a mid-sized Chicago-based managed services provider, and a Managed Company channel partner. "The flexibility of their service enables us to customize solutions for our customers, making us much more relevant to them than standard off-the-shelf software."

"CRM has become a business critical application because optimizing and tracking the sales process has become more and more important to increasing sales and growing customer relationships," said Noble Ackerson Managed Company's CEO. "I am passionate about changing the way businesses think about technology. Smaller to mid sized companies should not have to sacrifice productivity because of the cost of hosting and maintaining their own hardware and software. That is why we provide a solution that will help our customers meet their online business and on in house business needs."

In addition to customization benefits, Managed Company's Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 is tightly integrated with our eBusiness Management software and our hosted Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, allowing a minimal learning curve and quick return on investment. It can be fully synchronized with email, tasks, contacts and calendars. Users can also seamlessly export data into Excel for fast analysis and reporting.
