Cloud-Based Deployment
Dynamics 365 CRM can be deployed in the cloud. This allows organizations to use the application over the internet. In cloud deployment, the CRM is hosted on Microsoft servers, instead of hosting on-premises.
As CRM is accessible online, users can access it from any part of the world using their laptops or mobile devices. This deployment option provides numerous benefits:
- Scalability: Cloud deployment enables businesses to scale up or down to meet changing business needs.
- Automatic updates: Microsoft manages updates automatically. This ensures that you will have access to the latest features and security patches, without any manual assistance.
- Access on the go: Users can access CRM from anywhere, at any time, and on any device over the internet.
Additional benefits include reduced IT costs, lower upfront costs, quicker deployment, improved security, and real-time collaboration.
On-Premises Deployment
On-premises deployment refers to the process of deployment of Dynamics 365 CRM on the organization’s own servers, i.e., within the organization’s premises. This allows organizations to have complete control over their data.
Organizations that prioritize data security can choose on-premises deployment. Here are some key benefits of choosing on-premises deployment option:
- Control over data: Organizations can have complete ownership and authority over their business and customer data.
- Security: Organizations can adopt their own security measures, according to specific requirements to safeguard data.
- Customization: You can customize the CRM as per your business needs.
- Flexibility: On-premises deployment provides the flexibility to choose the hardware and infrastructure that best suits the organization’s needs.
Hybrid deployment
Hybrid deployment offers the benefits of both cloud and on-premises hosting. This approach allows organizations to deploy selected modules of the CRM system in the cloud and the other modules on-premises.
Here are some of the benefits of the Hybrid deployment
- Flexibility: You can decide which components to deploy in the cloud and which to keep on-premises, based on your business preferences.
- Data control: Maintain full control over sensitive business data by keeping it on-premises, while leveraging cloud security for other data.
- Cost-effectiveness: Hybrid deployment can be more cost-effective compared to full cloud or on-premises deployment, as organizations only need to pay based on their actual usage.
Public Cloud
Dynamics 365 CRM public cloud deployment refers to the hosting of the CRM on Microsoft’s public cloud platform, Azure. This sort of hosting offers numerous benefits.
- High security: MicrosoftAzure offers strong security features like data encryption, firewalls, and access controls, to ensure the protection of business data.
- Scalability: Businesses can scale the system up or down to match your organization’s changing needs.
- Reliability: Azure offers various cloud features such as security, backup, and disaster recovery solutions to ensure your data is always safe.
