I had a couple conversations about this with people I've been pitching 
SugarCRM
as an in house solution to. The main motivation I've heard expressed for 
buying these
hosted services plans seems to be so that their employees can't get at 
the data. It's
funny or rather, ironic, that although the people I've talked to 
obviously feel that there
employees are incompetent lying thieves, it doesn't seem to occur to 
them that the employees of the
service provider or the owners may be even bigger incompetent lying 
thieves. The implications
of the ready availability of keyloggers also don't seem to have sunk in. 
And when you bring up the
availability/lag issues they just look blank.
