The past: the "on-premise era"
Many companies still run software products on their own servers. Installation, administration, maintenance, data storage and data backup for hardware and software are usually carried out by the IT department, which is often chronically overloaded. The costs are correspondingly high, and the level of service and security is usually significantly lower than what specialised data centres offer. Project durations are also correspondingly long, as the "bottleneck of in-house IT" all too often represents a limiting factor.
Present and future: PaaS (Platform as a Service) from the cloud
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) from the cloud is a completely different approach to the use of business software and data storage. Better, faster, cheaper. The "cloud" refers to virtualised services offered by large data centres that are made available to users via the internet. These range from virtual computers, servers and storage (Infrastructure-as-a-Service - IaaS) to virtual platforms (Platform-as-a-Service - PaaS) and software that can be used entirely via the web (Software-as-a-Service). With PaaS, users access the software via their Internet connection in a web browser. The provider makes the necessary infrastructure and software available in the cloud. The software provider is therefore responsible for data storage, data backup, updates and support.
