Cloud vs. On-Premise: Choosing the Right Software

Commercial Cloud (SaaS) solutions offer quick deployment, requiring no installation or complex setup. However, this convenience often comes with significant trade-offs. In contrast, BAUSW On-Premise is installed on your own infrastructure, providing unparalleled levels of privacy, security, and control.

Cloud (SaaS)
  • Fast deployment, but risk of lock-in
    SaaS solutions are quick and easy to set up. However, switching providers can become difficult because of proprietary data formats or restrictions on how data is exported.
  • Limited data control
    With SaaS platforms, the vendor handles your data. While this reduces management overhead, it means you may lack visibility into where your data resides or how it's being used.
  • Shared infrastructure, higher risk
    Most SaaS systems operate on shared servers, creating potential vulnerabilities when hosting the data of thousands of customers together.
  • Compliance challenges
    Industries with strict data protection laws often require direct control over data storage and processing, making SaaS less suitable.
BAUSW On-Premise
  • Flexible licensing with freedom to migrate
    Avoid being tied to one vendor. BAUSW’s flexible, perpetual licensing ensures you maintain full ownership of your software and data, giving you freedom to move to another system if needed.
  • Complete ownership
    Installing BAUSW on your infrastructure gives you exclusive access and control over your data, ensuring privacy and reducing exposure to external risks.
  • Enterprise-grade security standards
    BAUSW provides the framework for robust security by adhering to industry-leading practices, including encryption, access controls, and local-only processing. As a self-hosted solution, the ultimate level of security depends on the customer’s implementation and infrastructure management.
  • Designed for regulatory compliance
    With no reliance on external dependencies, BAUSW ensures compliance with strict regulatory requirements. It's a perfect fit for regulated industries, where maintaining secure, private, and legally compliant records is critical.
Private Deployments

BAUSW ensures complete data ownership and privacy by offering a on-premise solution, giving you full control over your data and access. Hosted entirely on your own infrastructure, with no reliance on external services.

  • Regulatory compliance
