Which CRM Installation Type Is Right For You?

Different Types of CRM Installations

On Premise CRM

This is the traditional software implementation. Microsoft Dynamics CRM licensing and the hardware needed to run it are purchased up front and managed on-site by the customer, who owns all material and is responsible for its use and maintenance. Up-front costs can be a pain point with this installation model, though, and is not what SBS Group recommends for first-time CRM software users.

Licensing requirements:

• Microsoft Dynamics CRM server and client
• Windows Server and client
• Microsoft SQL Server and client
• Microsoft Exchange Server and client

You may need additional licensing, if you intend to activate Internet-Facing Deployment (IFD) and/or use Active Domain Federation Services (ADFS) for authentication.

CRM Online

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, a piece of the Microsoft Online Services portfolio, is hosted by Microsoft. This cloud-based tool is a great starting point for companies who want to get started using Dynamics CRM quickly.

It’s not enough to have the best people. Even top teams must be equipped with the right tools to maximize their efforts. When paired with Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics CRM redefines productivity at a completely different level.

• Easy to adopt. Use familiar tools that provide dependable, consistent experiences across PCs, mobile devices, and browsers, whether you’re using cloud or traditional applications.
• Available anywhere. Work seamlessly—whether online or offline—with anywhere access to information and applications. Never compromise your productivity because of a bad connection again.
• Team-oriented. Share information more easily inside and outside of your organization with change tracking and memory capabilities that simulate social tools like Twitter.
• More secure in the cloud. Enjoy financially backed security, data privacy, and consistent Microsoft-managed upgrades so that you can take the worry out of detailed day-to-day administration.
