Cloud-based (SaaS) enterprise software lets you access the system via subscription while servers and infrastructure stay outside your company. With the right choice on data location and GDPR, this model offers strong advantages.
Data location: Storing data in servers within your jurisdiction supports both GDPR and local audit and access requirements. SaaS solutions using local or in-country data centers meet this need.
Cost: Upfront cost is low; instead of hardware and license investment, subscription (monthly/yearly) gives scalable cost. For small and medium businesses, initial cost is reduced.
