Cost constraints? Think again!

The one reason that had made CRM the domain of large scale enterprises is the cost of deploying it. The popular and prominent model of CRM software was the on-site version which required dedicated teams to manage it, hardware and software modifications and a flexible budget. But, small businesses cannot afford this luxury.

So, CRM vendors came out with a CRM software model custom designed to suit small businesses. It is called hosted CRM, web based CRM or CRM on demand.

The most important differentiating factor is that hosted CRM is delivered over the internet and is hosted by a third party (in most cases, the vendor). This eliminates a lot of hassles that are typical with on-site CRM. While reaping all the benefits of a traditional CRM software, small business no longer have to invest in dedicated servers, software experts to manage the software and upgrade costs.

Hosted CRM is flexible, scalable and easy to use. The only investment that a small business has to make is in a quality broadband internet connection and the entire team can work under one platform.
