Cloud solutions / operating models, with a focus on the cloud
More About plano Cloud
An operating model defines how a software solution is technically delivered and managed. The most common models include Cloud (Software-as-a-Service), On-Premise (local operation on your own servers), and hybrid approaches.
The choice of operating model impacts factors such as IT autonomy, scalability, cost structure, and maintenance effort.
plano offers all standard models – tailored to your specific requirements.
