GroupSPARK says it will collaborate closely with the Microsoft development team, gain greater insight into the technology and provide valuable feedback helping to shape the release version of the product.

The ability for customers to quickly use Microsoft Dynamics CRM in a hosted environment is also beneficial to groupSPARK private label resellers because they will be able to offer Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 as a hosted service to their customers without requiring hardware dedicated to individual companies, thus, reducing cost, allowing flexibility and scalability in growth for their customers as well as significantly shortening their own sales cycle, says groupSPARK. In addition, this new service will expand resellers' portfolios of private label hosted services and enable them to generate increased recurring revenue.

"As the first to market hosted software services provider to offer Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, we are delighted to be able to make Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 available to a select group of industry partners as a hosted private label solution," says Ravi Agarwal, CEO of groupSPARK. "This is a significant addition to their current offering of private label hosted services and gives them the opportunity to gain additional revenue. This new release also gives small and mid-size companies the ability to significantly grow their own businesses and enhance their customer relationships."

WebHost Automation recently partnered with groupSPARK to release a new module that enables Web hosts to offer Microsoft Exchange hosting services via a third party.
