Choosing a new community management software is an important decision and not all community management software is created equal. You want your software to be able to meet your everyday needs as a company, be used effectively by your employees, and support your company’s growth goals. You want a heroic management software provider! Here are the 10 most important things your software should have, and why they are essential to your company’s success.
1. Cloud-based
The trend across all industries over the last few years has been to move away from on-prem software and towards cloud-based software. On-prem (or on-premises) means the software is installed directly on your computer or your company’s servers. On-prem software requires infrastructure investments, costly hardware, and manual installations and updates.
Cloud-based software is hosted on remote servers and accessed via the Internet. Being cloud-based makes work accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection, allowing your employees to access everything they need, no matter where they are. You don’t need to buy or maintain equipment and updates happen automatically. With cloud software, managing communities becomes simpler, no matter where you are.
On-Premises:
• Work from office only • Manual software updates
• Costly infrastructure and hardware investment
