eCommerce Platforming Showdown: Saas vs On-Premise
One of the biggest challenges every online retailer faces is the decision between a SaaS provider like BigCommerce or an on-premise like Magento.
WHITE PAPER
What you will find inside!
Switching ecommerce platforms is an important decision that can put your business on a path to greater online revenue. From your site's load time to the protection of your customers' payment data to your growth potential, your choice of ecommerce platform affects much more than just your monthly payment.
One of the most fundamental platform decisions companies have to make is whether to leverage a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, which means outsourcing hosting and backend management to a company specializing in ecommerce, or to select a platform that requires the retailer to provide on-premise hosting and management.
As a custom application development partner with decades of experience in the retail and ecommerce space, we want to provide our insights to help you on your journey.
If you're at this fork in the road, you're probably wondering which type of platform is:
- More cost-effective
- Easier to integrate with other business systems
- Easier to customize
- More scalable as your business grows
- Easier to update, maintain, and keep PCI compliant
- Faster to implement
In our new white paper, and in collaboration with BigCommerce, we pin SaaS and on-premise ecommerce platforms head-to-head to see which one wins in each of the above critical areas.
