FAQ

Software-as-a-Service Model

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software delivery and licensing model that enables users to access and use cloud-based applications over the internet. SaaS providers host and manage the software and data on their servers, while users access it through a web browser or mobile app.

Key Features of SaaS:

  • Subscription-Based Pricing: Users pay a subscription or pay-per-use fee, avoiding the need for large upfront costs.

  • Cloud Accessibility: No installation or maintenance required on local machines.

  • Advantages: Lower costs, scalability, easy updates, and mobility.

Hosted Model

In the Hosted Model, clients provide their own database infrastructure, including servers (e.g., SQL Server), to host the database application components onsite. The vendor supports the client by offering:

  • Product Knowledge

  • Training Assistance

  • Technical Support

  • Remote Database Maintenance

Features of the Hosted Model:

  • Web applications like HR Admin Portal, Employee Portal, and Manager Portal are rented or charged monthly.

  • Pricing depends on the number of users and the modules utilized.

On-Premise License Model

The On-Premise License Model allows users to install and operate software on their own devices or servers, independent of the cloud or internet. This license is purchased once and owned perpetually, requiring the user to manage updates and maintenance.

Advantages of On-Premise Licensing:

  • High security

  • Customization capabilities

  • Superior performance

Use Case: This model suits businesses needing strict control and tailored software environments. It’s also known as an in-house license or traditional license.

  • Cost reduction

  • Improved efficiency

  • Access to specialized skills
