On-Premise CRM
There are so many companies that prefer to deploy their CRM solution in-house, behind a firewall. Most of these companies will not want to trust their data to the cloud while others prefer to keep all their data in their own sights. These are companies who are still waking up to the reality of Cloud CRM.
There are some companies who have so much of data to transport that they prefer to keep their CRM on the same box or within their own LAN to keep that data easily accessible.
And then there are some that would Buy rather than rent.
Data Center CRM
Another option is the midpoint between the Cloud and the corporate network. In this case, the company would buy their CRM software and will have it hosted with specialty CRM hosting company on a dedicated server, or on a dedicated server in a standard colocation facility. Builders CoPilot is a classic example of such CRM software colocated in a data center.
Builders CoPilot CRM Software solves the problem of buying the CRM software rather than renting it, but saves the efforts, expense and maintenance of another box to their server stack.
For companies that are looking for the flexiblity to change from one deployment method to another at some point in the future, there are certain vendors that offer all three of the above options with the ability to easily migrate from Cloud CRM to on-premises CRM, for example.
