The SaaS is typically used by companies in lieu of an on-premise system. It is a modern solution that is rapidly growing due to its simplicity and money-saving features.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--what-is-on-premise\">What is on-Premise?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On-premise software runs on physical hardware at the location of an organization instead of at a remote server. On-premise uses the resources of a company’s hardware in order to function within the organization’s building. It typically requires extensive IT management to successfully operate without issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193231\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-2.jpg\" alt=\"A lot of businesspeople working on computers.\" class=\"wp-image-37053\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193231\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-2.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193231\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-2-450x338.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193231\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On-premise software is stored on the physical hardware of a company.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--the-main-differences\">The main differences\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of nuanced differences between SaaS and on-premise, though it’s unlikely that all of them will affect you. It’s important, however, to understand the key differences before deciding which service to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Control of the software\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some companies will want near-full control of the software they implement, while other companies won’t. The on-premise option gives organizations much more control of their systems. This includes the ability to customize and change systems. SaaS doesn’t give companies this level of control. However, this isn’t always a negative, since a lot of times this frees up the organization to worry about more important things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest differences between SaaS and on-premise is how accessible each system is to different team members. This becomes apparent when users wish to access the software from different locations other than a workplace. On-premise is accessed exclusively on company grounds, while SaaS is accessible from anywhere with a viable internet connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"458\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-3.jpg\" alt=\"A digital being selecting a \" class=\"wp-image-37056\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-3-450x258.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-3-768x440.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SaaS allows team members to access the software from different locations.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--which-should-you-choose\">Which should you choose?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer to this question depends on what matters the most to your company. For example, if you need the maximum level of security for your data, on-premise is going to be the right choice for you. That isn’t to say that some SaaS options don’t have great security, however they can’t possibly compete with the fact that a SaaS houses the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftowardsdatascience.com\u002Flocal-data-should-be-locally-owned-754c537c0a22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data locally\u003C\u002Fa>. Therefore, if business data security and privacy are at the top of your list, on-premise is likely your best option.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want a low-maintenance system, then SaaS is typically going to be better for you. This is especially true for companies who want fast setup and startup to new software. A SaaS allows companies all the complex features of a system without the usual technical aspects that come with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-4.jpg\" alt=\"An IT member fixes a computer.\" class=\"wp-image-37059\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-4.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-4-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193230\u002Fsaas-vs-on-premise-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, SaaS is a cost-saver, especially in the long term. In the short term, SaaS saves money on things such as hardware and hardware repairs. However, on-premise software is typically more cost-efficient in the short term, as it offers a one-time cost. The reason it grows more expensive as time elapses, though, is the various costs of services such as IT, hardware upgrades and repairs, system upgrades and extended downtime. The extended downtime comes from the lack of ability to update an on-premise system without interfering with daily operations. The SaaS automates updates, doesn’t require hardware upgrades and removes the need for IT support. Ultimately these things make SaaS the more cost-efficient option.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anytime you implement a new software system there’s massive potential for success. When it comes to SaaS vs on-premise, this potential relies on which system you select and how it fits with your company.
