On-Premise or Hosted Service

What are on-premise and cloud-hosted systems?

One of the biggest decisions you will make when selecting new software for your organization is whether it will be installed on-premise or cloud-hosted.

On-premise UC system reside on a dedicated server maintained by an organization's IT department. This provides additional control and validation but requires hardware to set up and a dedicated IT department  to manage everything.

Cloud-hosted UC service reside on a third-party cloud service provider (CSP) and require an Internet connection for access. Most cloud-hosted software services include updates, backups, monitoring and upgrades at no additional charge.

 

 
On-Premise System vs. Cloud-hosted Service

 

Factor

On-Premise

Cloud-hosted

Initial cost Your organization will pay licensing fees to own the software. Payment is upfront, so you can expect a fixed price. Your organization will pay licensing fees to use the software. Depending on the CSP, payment terms can be pay-for-usage, pay-per-month, pay-per-user, etc. Subscription fees can increase over time.
IT infrastructure Your organization will have to provide its own servers, hosting, backup, internal network connection, Internet connection, and other hardware and software as needed. Your organization will need to invest in a high-speed Internet connection to maximize the cloud functions.
Customization Customization is in-depth per the needs of your organization. Customization is limited and dictated by the CSP.
Control Your organization will have control over its data and the whole system. Your organization will hand over control to the CSP. This includes giving the CSP access to your organization’s data.
Implementation You will have to wait for the IT staff to complete the integration, with a wait time that is dependent upon the complexity of the IT infrastructure. Implementation time is typically brief because the CSP will handle everything.
IT support Your organization will have to create a team of dedicated IT staff to address maintenance and support issues. Your CSP will handle a majority of the IT support as a part of their service package.
Security Because data is stored on site with internal-only access, fewer security risks are involved. Your organization can restrict access to suit its needs. Internet-accessible data has greater inherent risks. Your organization must choose a CSP that offers reliable security.
