Web Based CRM Software

on 19 Jan 08 by Dan

Web based CRM software systems (like Leopard CRM), can give you a lot of advantages over traditional client/server models:

• No server infrastructure requirements
• Your fully featured CRM system is accessible from anywhere where you can get an Internet connection
• No need to manage server hardware upgrades
• No data backups to worry about
• The interface for web based CRM software can be as easy to use as as well designed web page, however, be on the lookout for interfaces that try to do things the wrong way, making things more difficult than necessary.
• Cross platform ability - switching to Mac? Upgrading Windows? No problem, as long as it has a web browser, your good to go
• Minimal data bandwidth use - client server models usually need to transfer additional information to the client, increasing network traffic.  Web based CRM systems act as a super-thin client minimising the need to transfer large amounts of data.

When web based CRM software is done well, it can deliver many advantages to businesses.  Some advantages are realised upon implementation, and some advantages are seen every year in reduced infrastructure costs.
