Typical cost structure for Microsoft Dynamics CRM:
License/Subscription Cost |
- User-based subscription licensing (USL)model offering both On-Premise and Cloud-based/SaaS installation. MS Dynamics CRM Online offers five levels of USLs (refer pricing section for details)
- The solution also offers add-on subscription licenses (add-on USLs)
- MS Dynamics CRM Online offers various licensing programs – based on the size of the organization. The vendor provides an option to the organization to increase or decrease subscription count on an annual basis with a non-perpetual license based on a three-year subscription agreement - MS Dynamics CRM Online does not support device-based licensing - MS Dynamics CRM does not include licenses for other products that may be essential or required for installation. Users need to purchase product licenses separately - MS Dynamics CRM provides dual use rights which give users the option to deploy the solution either in Microsoft cloud as CRM Online or in a private On-Premise or partner-hosted cloud with the CRM server. Users can deploy both types of instances simultaneously |

Data Migration Cost/Change Management/Upfront Switching Cost | For both On-Premise and Cloud-based/SaaS solution, cost will vary depending on the amount of data to be migrated, extracting data from an old system, availability of migration tools, complexity of data and gaps between the existing system and the new system |
Training Cost |
