SaaS PLM for aerospace and defense
There are three different classifications of PLM solutions: on-premises, cloud-based or SaaS-based. These classifications are based on their accessibility. For an on-premises solution, the company installs, operates and manages the solution on systems located on its premises. For a client-operated cloud model, the same is true, but a cloud provider operates the data center. Finally, with a SaaS-based solution, the solution provider installs, maintains and updates the solution on cloud data centers. With SaaS PLM solutions, aerospace and defense companies have no responsibility to install, manage and update the solution.
Of these three models, the on-premises PLM solution has been the most popular. However, the SaaS PLM model is growing in popularity, particularly among small and medium-sized aerospace and defense companies.
Experience accessibility and security with cloud-based PLM for aerospace and defense
A company’s needs and capabilities will determine which PLM solution model is right for them. Large enterprises tend to prefer the on-premises option because they want complete control of their PLM solution and have the resources to manage and maintain it.
However, small and medium-sized aerospace and defense companies need a secure and accessible option to fit their needs. A SaaS PLM solution can fit within their budget and scale with their needs. Even larger companies are starting to consider SaaS PLM because it is cost-efficient while offering the same benefits as an on-premises solution.
