(01:12) So let's start with just some basic definitions, SaaS (software as a service) is typically all managed by a third party. A SaaS provider, like a BigCommerce https://hubs.ly/Q012t_tl0 or Shopify, are going to really handle the heavy lifting of the ongoing support and maintenance of your website.

(01:53) With an On-Premise solution - and an on-premise solution doesn't necessarily mean it's physically located in your office - this could be that it's up in a cloud server that you control. The core pieces that you are now responsible for are far greater than if you're on a SaaS solution.

(03:00) We have these hybrid approaches in the middle PaaS (platform as a service), salesforce.com commerce builds itself as this type of solution. I would say that Magento's Cloud-Based Enterprise Platform https://hubs.ly/Q012tWS40 is also a PaaS solution. Within this environment, you're no longer responsible for the servers, the server architecture, traffic, monitoring, and the security and maintenance of that core architecture.

(04:46) On the flip side, if you are looking at something like a Magento https://hubs.ly/Q012tWS40 where scalability is fantastic, the ability to customize the architecture to do what you need is fantastic, but there are a lot more moving parts. You need to have a certain amount of expertise - an in-house IT department or a third-party agency.

(5:20) Well, the next big piece is we wanted to think about when we're comparing SaaS vs. PaaS vs. On-Premise, is security and compliance.

(8:06) The advantage of an on-prem solution usually comes in because you have far more flexibility in how you customize that platform. I've seen this, in not only how the products are displayed, but the rules. For example, if you're doing live calls to an ERP system, and you're building up a price based on cost components, this can get very, very difficult to do in your typical SaaS solutions.
