Microsoft is gearing up to release the first public Beta development milestone of Dynamics CRM 2011 next month, and customers interested in test driving the release should make sure to sign up.

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Public Beta registration page continues to be available, and early adopters should head over and sign up in order to receive email notifications when the bits become available for download.

Dynamics CRM 2011 is of course, the next major iteration of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, which will comes in no less than two flavors, as the offering is illustrative of the company’s overall Software plus Services strategy.

“As announced at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference on July 12, 2010, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 - formerly codenamed "CRM5" - will be publicly available as a beta release in September 2010 for both online and on-premises deployments,” Microsoft stated.

The Redmond company has yet to announce a specific availability deadline for Dynamics CRM 2011 Beta, but with September just a few week away, the wait is almost over.

“For customers, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 will offer new levels of user productivity and collaboration that meet their specific business needs with a low total cost of ownership,” the Redmond company added.

“For partners, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 will unlock new business opportunities and provides a single development environment for cloud-based and on-premises deployments,” the software giant added.

With the next generation of Dynamics CRM, the software giant is looking to introducing more power and flexibility for customers. The company emphasized that it has worked to make Dynamics CRM 2011 easily customizable, so that solutions can be tailored to unique business needs.

Along to on-premise deployments of Dynamics CRM 2011, customers will also be able to leverage the offering in the Cloud. By the end of 2010, Dynamics CRM Online will be offered to customers in 40 markets worldwide.
