As a management tool, Maximizer is the lifeblood of our business. If we didn't have Maximizer, we would not have company-wide insights into our projects. That is the key to our business, so to us it is mission critical. - Craig Carter, Director of Marketing and Customer Service, Thordon Bearings

On-Premise CRM Solution
With an on-premise solution your data and software applications are held in-house by your company where servers, connections, access, and data are all controlled by you and housed internally.
Consider this option if:
- Require a CRM solution customized to meet the unique needs of your organization
- Require your CRM to integrate tightly into your company’s existing business processes and applications/ have complex or real-time integration requirements
- Have already invested in internal IT infrastructure or have available in-house IT resources and support systems
- Require a certain level of security and control over the data (Ex: Within an industry or company whose laws mandate that your data remain behind your firewall)
- Require specialized data structures
- Have budget for up-front capital investment and prefer one-time costs over monthly recurring costs
- Are concerned about performance, poor internet connection or require heavy offline capability
