Echopass to offer Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 as a hosted solution.

Echopass, a provider of hosted contact center and CRM solutions, announced last Monday it will be offering Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 to Microsoft VARs, resellers and enterprise end users as a hosted solution.

"Our customers require full integration with their CRM and other back office solutions," said Vincent Deschamps, CEO of Echopass. "That's why we've chosen to support Microsoft CRM as a core component within our EchoSystem. VARs looking to offer Microsoft CRM to their customers will work with Echopass to deliver an on-demand call center that is hosted and integrated with telephony for the work-at-home or centrally located call center agent."
