WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING CLOUD-BASED SOLUTIONS AND HAVING MY OWN SERVERS?
There are many advantages to using the cloud over on-premises systems:
1. Reduction of time to benefit
Since the system works over the Internet, all you need to configure are your computers. Once they’re up and running, Toursys can be accessed from any Internet browser.
2. Lower costs
Instead of paying for your own hardware, with cloud-based solutions, you only pay for what you use. This means the cost of using the latest technology is distributed among each user, making it lower for everyone.
3. Scalability and integration
With traditional software running on-premises, you’d need to purchase more servers to expand your business. With cloud-based solutions, you only need to purchase an additional license to expand your workforce.
4. Software update
With cloud-based applications, you don’t need to worry about installing the latest software update because it’s done automatically. Once we update the Toursys servers, everyone will have the latest software version.
