Business software on traditional servers will be reduced by half next year. Why are companies more keen on cloud services?

With the rapid development of the current market, enterprises will carry out enterprise information construction in order to improve efficiency and facilitate management. Generally speaking, CRM system is the first step for enterprises to carry out information construction, and manage all customer-related processes in a unified way, thus establishing standardized and efficient business processes.

Many friends will know that there are two different ways of CRM system: cloud service and buyout, but the specific differences or advantages are not well understood. Choosing the right CRM system implementation scheme is very important for enterprise business, and it can also be said that choosing the right CRM system is an essential part of implementation. Today Rushmail will share the differences, advantages and disadvantages between cloud service and buyout in CRM system selection.

From the application point of view, there is no difference in function between cloud service and buyout system. They are all full-functional modules containing the system. The biggest advantage of RushCRM system is that it can be customized according to the actual needs of users. After the service is opened, the after-sales technical engineer will confirm the requirements and then start the system debugging. At the business application level, there is no difference between cloud services and self-built systems.

In terms of purchase methods, cloud service enterprises do not need to prepare servers, nor do they need professional developers or maintenance personnel. The hardware, software, network bandwidth, data backup and after-sales service of these systems are provided by CRM system service providers. You only need to charge annually according to the number of users. Buyout requires users to prepare their own hardware environment, but it is installed and deployed on their own servers. All data storage and data interaction are completed through their own servers. Whether the system is installed in an enterprise with a physical server or a rented cloud server (private cloud), it is a way of data buyout. Buy once, use for life, and enjoy the right to use the system for life.

As far as cost is concerned, the cloud CRM system does not need a dedicated person to maintain the server, which is faster, lower in cost, shorter in online cycle and more cost-effective. In addition to the hardware cost, the buyout cost of CRM system will be higher than that of cloud service.

From the aspects of data docking and system integration, there will be great differences between cloud services and local self-construction, and cloud services are more about providing standardized functions. It is a system debugging under the existing system framework, and will not involve R&D personnel for further development. Local self-construction provides secondary development services. For example, some personalized requirements are self-built services, which are not available in the current CRM system, but can be realized through special secondary development customization. The secondary development is mainly aimed at function development, system integration and docking with other system software.

From the safety analysis. Data security is a point that users should pay close attention to. After all, the core data of this customer is stored in the CRM system. If the data is lost or leaked, it will cause great losses to the company. Cloud service is the security maintenance of CRM system service providers. Mainly from the basic security, network security, security audit, security operation and maintenance and other different aspects to ensure the safety of user data. If you buy out, you need to maintain the security of the server yourself. The acquisition method is stored in their own server. The security performance of the system will be relatively higher, and the information stored by enterprises can be better preserved. It is undisturbed. Handing over routine maintenance work to external service providers can indeed reduce the pressure on enterprise managers, but at the same time, it will also make enterprises vulnerable to the connection problems of service providers. The information system installed by enterprises can effectively reduce the probability of not accessing the database. In addition, if it is built locally, access to the intranet can only be restricted. If it is a cloud service, you can use the CRM system through the account password as long as you can connect to the internet, and the cloud service cannot restrict users' access through the intranet and extranet.
