The cloud-based CRM solution seems like the way to go. It would allow the company to access the system without the overhead of maintaining the infrastructure. Seems like the most cost-effective option.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Hiring a programmer to develop a custom CRM seems like it could get expensive. I'll need to weigh the pros and cons of each approach.

Outsourcing all customer service seems like a risky move. I'd want to keep that core function in-house if possible. The cloud-based CRM option sounds promising.
