Cloud CRM vs On-Premise CRM
The main difference between on-premise and cloud CRM system is where they are hosted. This determines how they are implemented and maintained.
On-premise CRM (also
referred to as on-site CRM) involves organisations purchasing licences and
installing a system on internal servers that are physically located within a
building. This requires a specialist in-house IT department to build the system
and oversee day-to-day maintenance tasks - such as running updates, managing
back-ups and security procedures.
A cloud CRM is a much
different solution. Rather than being managed on-site, a cloud CRM is
outsourced to a provider. This is then hosted on their servers (aka, the
‘cloud’) and can be accessed remotely, providing that you are able to connect
to the internet. Also known as ‘software as a service (SaaS), a cloud CRM
system usually requires a monthly subscription fee to the respective provider
in exchange for their services.
