Microsoft Corp. on Thursday unveiled details on packaging and pricing for a software set to debut later this year for mid-sized companies that need to closely manage sales and information about their customers. David Thacher, general manager at Microsoft's Business Solutions group, said clients were currently testing the beta version of Microsoft Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. The software would be priced at $395 per user plus $995 for the server for a standard version, and $1,395 per-user plus $1,990 for the server for a more advanced version, the company said. Last year's acquisition of Great Plains software and the purchase of Navision Software, which was completed on Thursday, are part of Microsoft's drive to provide software and services to small and medium-sized business.
