If my company wants to own their software, is onsite deployment our only option?

Number 10 in a series of strategic questions and criteria to consider when you’re thinking about hosted accounting software and managed services.

Unless you write your own software, you never own it. You own a license to use it. Perpetual licensing simply means you have a license to use it into perpetuity. In addition to the initial cost of perpetual licenses, you’ll incur annual software maintenance costs. If you don’t pay the annual maintenance, the next time you replace your hardware, you’ll have to repurchase the software. With the speed of technology changes, you’ll likely want to upgrade every three to five years.

Hosted software subscription pricing is set to be less than or equal to perpetual software costs in a three to five year timeframe. Plus you get the added benefit of no hardware investment, easier upgrades, and less routine network maintenance.
