License models vs. SaaS

With software from the cloud, you can map digitalization as an operating cost model. And without any investment blocks. You only pay for what you need. No dependencies, simply book and cancel. Just as you need it. Indirect costs for hosting, hardware, maintenance, administration and interoperability are completely eliminated!

License models

You pay a significant initial and ongoing share for hardware, infrastructure, security and operation. There are alsoannual maintenance costs. The high indirect share is difficult to see.

Hiding costs beneath the surface
  • Initial one-off costs for licenses & hardware
  • Significant internal & external personnel costs during implementation
  • 10-15% ongoing maintenance contracts
  • Additional costs for updates
  • Ongoing technical user support from our own IT department
  • Ongoing safety checks by our own personnel
  • Ongoing user & account management
  • Integration projects with third-party providers
  • High opportunity costs due to slow launches and complex rollouts
  • Potential losses due to downtimes

SaaS models

You pay an ongoing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) fee. No initial investment and no hidden costs. You pay for what you need. Best-practice software.
