Cloud CRM, and who owns your data
For anyone comparing cloud-based CRM software, including teams searching from Australia, the UK and the US.
What “cloud-based CRM software” actually is
Twenty years ago a CRM often meant software installed on a PC, with a database in the office. A cloud CRM moves that desk to the browser. Your team can sign in from more than one place. Updates do not wait for someone to patch a machine. The trade-off is that you must be clear about the host, the backups, and the export.
When a cloud custom build is the point
Renting a well-known cloud CRM is the right move for many small teams. A custom or packaged cloud CRM is worth considering when your process will not fit the rented tool, or when you want the desk and the website form to be built as one system. Read the CRM software guide for that comparison, and CRM for small business for the checklist.

Questions we hear
What is a cloud CRM?
A cloud CRM is a customer relationship management system you use in the browser, with data hosted on servers rather than only on one office computer. “Cloud-based CRM software” and “cloud CRM” mean the same idea.
Is a cloud CRM less secure than a system we host ourselves?
Not automatically. Security depends on access control, backups, and who can export the list — not on the word “cloud.” We will describe hosting and access in the written scope.
Do we still own our data in a cloud CRM?
You should. On work we do for you, you own the leads and notes. Exports and handover are part of the agreement. Do not assume that every rented CRM works the same way — read the vendor’s terms.
