SaaS vs. On-Premise: Which Solution Should You Choose for Your EDI Project?

The choice between a SaaS and on-premise solution has become a real strategic issue for companies undergoing digitalization. This is particularly true for EDI projects, where robustness, agility, and scalability are essential criteria.

So, should you host your platform internally or opt for the cloud? Here’s a breakdown.

The on-premise model: total control… but at what cost?

On-premise solutions are installed directly on the company’s infrastructure, which offers reassuring control.
However, this model requires significant investment, dedicated teams, and often limited scalabilit

🔴 High initial investment : acquisition of servers, licenses, network infrastructure, etc.
🔴 Internal maintenance : updates, backups, and security are the responsibility of the company.
🔴 Limited scalability : evolving the solution requires internal resources and time.
🔴 Dependence on IT teams : each upgrade or correction depends on technical intervention.

The SaaS model: flexibility, scalability, and peace of mind

Conversely, SaaS (Software as a Service) relies on a solution hosted on a remote server, generally via a subscription. This model is attractive for its ease of deployment and its optimized overall cost.

✅ Fast deployment : no servers to install, your solution is up and running within weeks.
✅ Controlled costs : no large initial investment, with pay-as-you-go pricing.
✅ Automatic updates : you always benefit from the latest features with no extra effort.
✅ Built-in scalability : need to connect a new partner? SaaS adapts instantly.
✅ Enhanced security : hosted in certified data centers, with continuous monitoring and 24/7 availability.
✅ Freed-up teams : your staff can focus on high-value tasks instead of technical maintenance.
