WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING CLOUD-BASED SOLUTIONS AND HAVING MY OWN SERVERS?
There are many advantages of using the cloud over on-premises systems:
1. Reduced time to benefit
Since the system runs over the Internet, all you need to set up are your computers. Once they are 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 that 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 locally, you would need to buy more servers to expand your business. With cloud-based solutions, you only need to purchase one additional license to expand your workforce.
4. Software update
Through cloud-based applications, you don’t need to worry about having to install the latest software update because it is done automatically. Once we update the Toursys servers, everyone will have the latest version of the software.
