On-Premises Deployment
On-premises deployment is a model where software is installed and runs on computers on the premises of the organization using the software, rather than at a remote facility. The on-premises model provides organizations with the flexibility to perform maintenance, upgrades, and customization at their convenience. However, this model requires considerable up-front capital for such expenses as hardware, software, licenses, IT personnel for maintenance, and physical building space.
