Enterprise software delivery is hard, but there’s a better way. (part 2)
In an ideal world, your enterprise customers would simply trust your multi-tenant SaaS product to handle everything. Unfortunately, for many enterprise use cases, this wishful thinking collides with harsh realities: data sets that can’t be moved cost-effectively, sensitive data that’s too risky to hand over, and regulatory constraints that make data movement impossible. In this post, we’ll break down how current illusions of easy transformation fail, and what a more refined, practical model for customer-hosted deployments looks like.
Enterprise software delivery is hard, but there’s a better way. (part 1)
In the first post of this series, we’ll explain enterprise software delivery models and why they are so difficult and expensive to implement.

On-Prem is back but it isn’t coming back the way it used to be
We’ve been thinking about on-prem wrong. We see two emerging trends related to on-premises software.
On-prem is now in the cloud. Software vendors are now offering cloud-first versions of on-prem that use cloud-native features. New terms emerging with this trend include “Containerized On-Prem” and “Bring Your Own Cloud” (BYOC).
Enterprises that pushed hard for SaaS first are re-evaluating SaaS deployment models in four use cases: operational resilience, heavy data in play, privacy and control, and privileged access.
