Software as a Service (SaaS) CRM is not a new buzzword anymore. Every business has started
adopting SaaS CRMs and has already taken a step further to stay ahead of their competition.
But, Are you still considering SaaS CRM as one of your options and haven't migrated yet?
In this post, We present to you a set of 10 compelling benefits of SaaS CRM softwares for
Businesses
1. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership
On-Premise CRM softwares not only requires you to purchase the
software but also involves additional support costs including additional hardware,
maintenance & support staff, network maintenance & monitoring, and many more.
But in Saas CRM, everything is included in your
subscription fee which reduces your Upfront Capital Expenditure. Ultimately a reduced Total
Cost of Ownership with a focus on OpEx instead of CapEx!
2. Faster Deployment & Greater Agility
Developing and Deploying On-premise CRM software from scratch can take a significant
amount
of time depending upon your requirement and process complexity.
It will lead to delays in your time-intensive projects which means loss of potential
revenue.
But in SaaS CRM, Everything is ready! It helps you deploy your applications
faster
thus helping you to reach the market faster and better.
4. Upgraded CRM Software with latest Ground-breaking Capabilities
With ever-evolving technology, the Saas CRM Software you use would continue to provide
innovative
features with every upgrade.
With On-premise CRM Software, the task of upgrading the software after every technology
upgrade is highly impossible for the internal IT team considering the complex procedure
it involves around Servers, Applications, Databases, Networks, Down Time, and many more.
But with SaaS CRM, you only need to sit and relax! Your service provider will
take
care of everything.
5. Regular Backup and Accountability
With On-Premise CRM, it becomes manual work for your IT Team to take regular backups.
Most
of the time, it is done only upon request and not as a regular process in order to save
on backup
storage costs.
But with SaaS CRM, the Service Provider takes responsibility for your DATA.
Most
of the Saas service providers take backup every day. Some even take backups of the
backups and store them in different servers in order to ensure its availability even
in case of complete local data center shutdown in case of emergency.
With Saas CRM, Business must go on...
6. Access to Industry Benchmark Practices
Saas CRM softwares are designed and developed as per the benchmarks of the best
practices
followed by the majority of businesses in your Industry.
But On-premise CRM software is too customized as per your needs which may tend to push
you
to strictly follow your own practices and procedures, thus keeping you out of the loop
from the best practices in your industry.
7. Anytime, Anywhere, and Any Device
With the Internet, you can access the SaaS CRM application 24 x 7 from every nook and
corner of the world using any internet device including your Smartphone.
No need to waste time going through a range of VPNs and Firewalls as in the case of
On-Premise CRM Softwares.
With SaaS CRM, your application never leaves you alone.
8. No Vendor Lock-in
With SaaS Model, you get the freedom to pay your subscription on monthly basis or on
the transaction
basis.
This means, No Vendor Lock-in as in the case of On-Premise.

Strings attached!
