The modules of the Spreadsheet Router can be licensed and operated in two ways: Software as a Service (Saas in the Cloud) or on-premises (on-site).
With the Saas option, your Spreadsheet Router instance is operated in the cloud and made available to you via a corresponding company-specific access.
In the on-premises option, we provide you with a virtual machine (VM), which you can then operate on your own server.
The different selling prices for the Saas (Cloud) and the On-Premises solution are based on the increased maintenance and support costs for the On-Premises variant.
The functionality of the Spreadsheet Router is identical in both license models.
The system requirements for the On-Premises solution can be downloaded here.
