Sign into your account5 Reasons Why a Cloud-Based Realtor CRM is The Way to Go
August 28 2012
Should you use a REALTOR® CRM "in the cloud" or are you better off sticking with a standalone system? This blog post will explain why a cloud-based REALTOR® CRM is your best option.
A cloud-based system, also known as "web-based," is one that you access through the internet. A standalone system, on the other hand, is one you download to your computer's hard drive.
Here's why you should be using a REALTOR® CRM on the cloud (one that's hosted online):
1. You don't have to worry about losing your data to viruses or computer crashes. When you use a web-based system, all your data gets stored on secure data centers with very highly advanced security and privacy protection – security far more developed then what you could ever have on your PC. Moreover, when your system is cloud-based, it's often backed up on a daily basis or even several times a day.
2. Better long-term investment. Although cloud-based REALTOR® CRMs involve an ongoing monthly fee (versus a one-time charge), you're saving money in the long-term because product upgrades and customer support is often included. With standalone real estate software, there are typically hefty fees you have to pay each time you call customer support or download the latest upgrade/version of the software.
