Cloud customer relationship management (CRM) is becoming a popular choice among many sales
organizations. Experts predict that the tipping point is on the horizon, with
up to 85 percent of CRM users
employing a cloud CRM instead of
an on-premise software system.
Cloud CRM is
growing fast, but how do you determine whether a cloud CRM
solution is right for your business? If your organization has not used cloud
software before, you may wonder about the impact of that decision on your
business. Here are several reasons why cloud CRM
might be right for your sales organization:
Your Customers are
Demanding Faster Response Times
Your organization does not have time to spend two weeks implementing a new CRM system. Cloud CRM can be installed and used with a few short hours of training. In fact, with cloud CRM you should be able to realize a quick return on investment and draw a direct line between your CRM and growth in sales.

Your IT Department
Will Thank You
With high investments in security against hackers and viruses, cloud CRM companies are vigilant about protecting your data. Likewise, your IT department won’t be dealing with the bugs that can occur when you try to put in a new in-house software system. With cloud CRM, the problems have been dealt with centrally and the software is ready to go. Updates are similarly seamless with cloud CRM.

You Don’t Have to
Give up Your Legacy System
The current cloud CRM applications are made to integrate with your legacy software, or they can be used as a stand-alone system. When you implement cloud CRM with a legacy system, your sales reps will use a mobile app to enter information, which will be used to populate fields in your existing software system.

Integrating with an existing system is a great step for a
sales organization that has a significant investment in an in-house software
solution. The cloud CRM tool will
enhance the use of that system and make access to information more convenient,
add depth to customer interactions and allow for real-time reporting for your
sales managers.
