It’s time to consider moving from on-premise to Saas for your business. Nowadays with the cloud revolution, SaaS is slowly becoming more and more common thanks to its “easier to manage” side.
If you did not do the jump yet, find in the list below, facts to keep in mind when switching from on-premise software to a SaaS.
Moving on-premise to SaaS
Changes to your business model:

- You pay membership subscription fees per month or per year
- You gain time and benefits as you will not have to install and configure the software
- You have lower costs due to a shared infrastructure based on the cloud
- You have lower maintenance costs since the SaaS provider owns the infrastructure
Changes to your responsibility:
- The SaaS provider will ensure data security, data backup, disaster recovery, and compliance with laws
- The system availability is ensured by the software vendor
