Deployment Options

When considering deployment options for an ERP system, DELMIAWorks offers three choices: on-premise, hosted cloud ERP deployment via hosted managed services, or SaaS. Depending on budget, strategy, and other manufacturer requirements, businesses can choose whichever suits them best.

• On-premise: Initial cost of ownership is high due to the upfront cost of hardware and software acquisition. As the software licence is perpetual, the long-term cost of ownership is low.
• Cloud Hosted: Eliminates the issues associated with managing hardware. Both the initial investment and the long-term costs are low.
• SaaS: As software and hardware costs are spread over time, the initial investment cost is low. However, the long-term cost is higher as software licences are leased rather than owned in perpetuity.
