For customers considering Dynamics CRM solutions, online or on-premises, Sure Step introduced a service called Accelerated Proof of Concept with CRM Online. This service was designed to take advantage of free trial licenses that can be afforded to prospective customers, giving them the ability to "test drive" the CRM Online solution on their own before deciding to move forward with solution envisioning and solution acquisition.
