Your Results are: Leaning Toward a PREMISE Solution
Your answers indicate that some aspects of a PREMISE solution are appealing to you. However, you are not locked into that architecture. A cloud solution (possibly a PRIVATE CLOUD) might work for you.
A premise solution provides:
- Control of your data
- Full control of your communications environment
- Full control over upgrades and timing
- Full control over security and compliance
- Ability to develop integrations as needed
A private cloud solution may provide the control you require; while still providing benefits of the cloud such as:
- Subscription pricing
- Provider manages the core system components
- Hardened, geographically separate data centers for resilience
- Provider manages security and compliance
- Consistent with cloud-first strategy
- Scalability for seasonal increases or decreases
- Support for remote workers
- Flexibility
- Potential for advanced applications like AI
This option will require investigation and due diligence.
