Key benefits from on-premise eSigning
Just like any other digital solution, on-premise eSigning has its pros and cons. In our previous lesson we have mentioned that on-premises solutions are usually preferred by businesses and organizations from the defense, military, governmental and pharma sectors. That does not mean that other businesses cannot go for on-premises. You just need to decide whether benefits from on-premise solution outweigh the installation costs - in your particular case.
So, let's look at the benefits of the on-premises software one more time.
- Number one is, of course, security. You keep all data in-house. You are not dependent on downtime in third-party applications. For many Asian banks on-premises solutions are actually the only and absolutely undiscussable option, primarily due to security concerns.
- Vast opportunities for customization. Having an on-premise solution means you do not have to adjust your processes to software workflow, on the opposite - you can adjust software per specific processes in your organization. If you go for a web-based application, in the absolute majority of cases you won't be able to to do that (or such adjustment would have to be individually developed for you and thus would cost you a fortune).
- Your own schedule of updates and maintenance. With on-premises solutions, only you decide when the system should be updated, how often should the back-ups be performed, in which cases Support should be notified etc. You can even set your own schedule of updates, per each department in your office separately.
- Single-time investment. Nobody says on-premises is cheap. You need to have a separate server, rearrange the Ethernet in your office, purchase extra hardware and software. However, this would be a one-time purchase. And in a long term, security and stability benefits would surely underwrite the initial spending.
- Regulatory requirements are followed by default. This is especially applicable to GDPR regulations since they insist all data should remain in the country of origin, and this is exactly how on-premises solutions work. Also, having extra data security thanks to on-premises solution could be useful if you are planning to expand your business operations internationally as security regulations differ across countries and sectors, and having maximum data protection wouldn't hurt anyways.
Grade these 5 benefits on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of their importance for competitiveness (or even survival) of your business. Then you will surely know what to go for - web-based SaaS or an on-premise solution.
