While both options have many benefits for handling your construction disbursements, it is important to know which option is right for you. You deal with high volumes of information that need to be protected all day. Here at Fund Control, we understand that SaaS may not be right for every business, and the Self-Hosted option may be better. But we also know that SaaS may be the better option.

We pride ourselves on being able to provide our clients with exactly what they need to streamline their construction loans. This blog will break down the benefits of both systems so that you have a clearer picture of what is right for you.

The Difference Between SaaS & Self-Hosted

SaaS is an acronym for Software as a service. Essentially, all your data is kept safe and secure through our servers and we are available to assist 24/7 with any potential issues.

Self-hosted is when servers are installed in your place of business and you are in control of keeping the data secure. This is often achieved by hiring an IT department if you don’t already have one.

Cybersecurity Explained

Self-hosted data storage has a slight advantage when it comes to storing construction disbursement information. This is because it is not being sent over the internet to external servers.

However, that is not to disparage SaaS as most external servers are avidly protected and secure. At Fund Control we have a dedicated team making sure our servers are constantly protected and provide 24/7 assistance.

What SaaS Has That Self-Hosted Doesn’t

There are clear benefits to taking advantage of Software as a Service as opposed to being Self-Hosted:

• You can work anywhere
• Super easy to install
• All you need is an internet connection
• It is typically cheaper
