On-Premise vs Off-Premise Licensing

On-premise licensing means you purchase and host software directly on your company's servers and infrastructure, giving you control but requiring upfront costs and maintenance. Off-premise licensing, often through the cloud, involves subscribing to software hosted externally by a provider, with access via the internet, reducing upfront costs and IT responsibilities. The choice depends on factors like control, security, scalability, and budget. On-premise offers customization but higher management effort; off-premise offers flexibility and ease of use but less direct control.
