Two ways to run your systems
You can run software on a server in your own office, or rent capacity from a cloud provider. Both work. The right answer depends on your power, your connectivity, your budget and your data.
Why many businesses choose cloud
- No hardware to buy, cool or power through outages.
- Reachable from anywhere staff have a connection.
- Backups and security patches handled for you.
- Pay for what you use and grow without new equipment.
When your own server makes sense
- Your internet is less reliable than your power.
- You process very large files locally every day.
- You have specific rules about where data must be kept.
“Decide based on what fails more often where you are: the power or the internet.”
Many businesses land on a mix: core systems in the cloud, with offline-capable apps on site. If you're unsure, we can help you weigh it up.
