\nReducing latency and removing data barriers as demand grows for faster, locally compliant software<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a>

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pipedrive<\/a>, an easy and intelligent CRM for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has launched a Sydney-based data centre, tackling the \u201cdistance tax\u201d that has traditionally slowed down software performance for Australian users. Built on AWS (Amazon Web Services), the move cuts platform latency by up to 60% while supporting local data residency requirements. Until now, Australian customer data has been hosted in the United States, creating a gap between global SaaS infrastructure and local expectations.<\/p>

\nThe Sydney data centre strengthens Pipedrive\u2019s offering for SMBs in Australia, where businesses increasingly expect faster, locally hosted CRM solutions. The move reflects a broader shift towards a more localised approach in key markets, driven by customer demand for better performance and compliance.<\/p>

\nThe investment comes as Pipedrive\u2019s Australian customer base continues to grow. With more than 2.5 million SMBs, Australia represents a significant opportunity and is now one of the company\u2019s key global markets. This marks a shift away from a one-size-fits-all global model towards a more locally relevant experience, including a new Australian business entity.<\/p>

\n\u201cWhat we\u2019re hearing from Australian customers is that they value Pipedrive, but increasingly expect their software to feel more local,\u201d says Joe Futty, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Pipedrive. \u201cFor years, software companies have asked customers to adapt to their systems. We think it should be the other way around. If you\u2019re selling in Australia, your CRM should feel Australian, built for local performance and the way people actually sell.\u201d<\/p>

\nTackling Australia\u2019s \u201cdistance tax\u201d<\/b><\/p>

\nPreviously, data had to travel thousands of kilometres across the Pacific. By storing data onshore in Sydney, Pipedrive is reducing the \u201cdistance tax\u201d, enabling faster and more consistent access to the platform.<\/p>

\nFor Australian sales teams, this means quicker response times and a smoother experience when managing deals and customer interactions, with faster, low-latency access to the CRM platform. It also reduces reliance on cross-region infrastructure.<\/p>

\nLocal data storage removes a key barrier for SMBs working with enterprise and government clients, who often require onshore data hosting.<\/p>

\nThe Australian data centre will also support customers across the wider Asia-Pacific region, improving performance beyond Australia.<\/p>

\nStrengthening its Australian presence<\/b><\/p>

\nAustralia is currently Pipedrive\u2019s seventh-largest market and is a key region for future growth. \u201cWe are not just expanding globally; we are localising intentionally,\u201d says Joe Futty. \u201cThat means making sure the experience feels right for Australian salespeople, not just available. With data now in Sydney and a stronger presence on the ground, Pipedrive is built to grow alongside the Australian business community.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe Australian data centre is part of Pipedrive\u2019s broader global infrastructure, which now spans multiple regions across the US and Europe, with further expansion planned in Canada.<\/p>
