It begins.
Flexible Deployment Options
Why should your CRM provider decide how you manage your customer information? At SugarCRM, the customer is in control.
Choose Sugar On-Demand, if you would like SugarCRM to host your information. Choose Sugar Cube, if you need a plug-and-play CRM appliance inside your firewall. Choose Sugar On-Site, if you want to manage Sugar on your own servers.
Do not let marketing dollars and bold pronouncements fool you: if a vendor tells you there is only one way to deploy software, it is more about their business model than yours.
I don't know if these guys are good or not, but this sure seems like the direction that SAP and Oracle are terrified of. A CRM appliance. Or on-demand. Whichever.
