- Momentum – Toward the end of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 (~2006) and the release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 we started to see the momentum really build. With the release of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 we feel Microsoft is poised to accelerate growth and take the CRM market by storm for several years to come.
