On-Premise PLM
On-premise PLM is deployed on servers owned and managed by the customer organization, within the customer's data center or private cloud. The customer's IT team is responsible for hardware provisioning, database administration, security patching, backup, and upgrade execution. The customer typically purchases perpetual licenses plus annual maintenance fees.
Why it matters
On-premise deployment gives the customer maximum control over their data, integrations, and customizations. For organizations with strict data sovereignty requirements or complex legacy integrations, it remains the dominant deployment choice despite market trends toward cloud.
