Cloud or on-premises: how to choose

Every FidsorOne conversation eventually reaches the same fork: should this run in your cloud, or on our servers? Here's how we help customers decide.

What's identical either way

The suite itself. Same apps, same features, same updates. On-premises is not a lesser edition — it's the same platform with a different home.

Choose cloud when

• You don't have (or don't want) a server room and someone to mind it.
• You want backups, monitoring and updates to be our problem.
• Your team works from multiple locations and the office network isn't special.

Choose on-premises when

• Regulation or policy says the data stays in the building.
• Your connectivity is unreliable and the business can't stop when the internet does.
• You already run infrastructure and want FidsorOne inside it.

Moving later

Both directions are supported. Businesses that start in the cloud sometimes move on-premises as they grow into their own IT; on-premises customers sometimes hand the keys to us. Either way, it's a migration, not a rebuild.
