While Sage CRM is a web-based application, it is hosted on a server we can directly access. This is a distinguishing feature of Sage CRM which allows for many advantages over solutions hosted by the publisher (think Salesforce.com, Hubspot, Zoho, etc.). With direct access to the Sage CRM database and application files, we have almost unlimited control to modify or customize the system. So, while the flexibility this provides is awesome, deploying Sage CRM does require the right infrastructure (i.e. a server) to host it.
Server requirements for Sage CRM vary based on several factors including the number of users accessing the system and if there are any integrations. Here is a link to the hardware/software requirements for Sage CRM. Generally speaking though, for systems that will ultimately host 10ish users, our suggestions for minimum requirements are RAM = 16GB and Processor = Equivalent to Xeon Series Quad Core with a minimum frequency > 2.8 GHz.
If your organization does not already have a server, you may want to consider using a server host such as Azure, AWS, or SOS Hosting. We use and highly recommend SOS. This company specializes in hosting Sage systems; including Sage CRM systems that integrate with Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage 300, and Sage Enterprise (previously X3). SOS hosts our Sage CRM instance as well as the systems for several of our clients. SOS has proven to be a professional, accommodating, and responsive partner.
