Deployment Method
Cost: Requirements for the application can help you to determine which approach is most cost-effective Differentiation: Business processes that are core to your business and take advantage of in-house expertise typically remain on-premise. But commodity processes can be outsourced. Time-to-market: Hosted applications often can be deployed much faster than on-premise solutions, so you can implement new or changed processes more quickly. Resource availability: On-premise deployments often require more time and money than deployment of a hosted application. If budgets are tight or your IT department does not have free resources, you can still meet your business' needs through hosted applications. Process affinity: Some processes are inherently more suited to either hosted or on-premise deployment. E-commerce and supply chain operations often rely on hosted applications, whereas material requirements planning is normally deployed on-premise. |
