On-Premise or Private Cloud?

• Choose the deployment platform for direct MES that fits your needs
• Get full control with On-Premise – or flexibility with Private Cloud
• AMS offers both options – and helps you make the right choice

When investing in direct MES, it’s just as important to consider where the solution runs as what it does. That’s why we offer both On-Premise and Private Cloud deployment – two different models with distinct advantages, so you can choose the one that suits your production setup, IT environment and requirements for security and availability.

On-Premise – for full local control

On-Premise means the software is installed on your own servers, within your own production environment. This gives you maximum control over both data and infrastructure – ideal for companies with in-house IT teams and established routines for operations and security.

Benefits of On-Premise:

• Full control over IT security and physical access
• No ongoing costs for hosting or server rental
• Customisations and integrations managed in-house

When to choose On-Premise:

• You have strong in-house IT expertise
• You want to use your existing servers and network
• You must comply with regulatory requirements for local hosting

Private Cloud – for flexibility, reliability and easy scaling

With Private Cloud, direct MES is delivered from a dedicated cloud environment – exclusively for your company. The solution is hosted by AMS or a trusted third-party provider, and you can access it securely via the internet from any location.

Benefits of Private Cloud:

• Quick setup with no local installation required
• Hosting and maintenance managed by AMS or partner
• Easier to scale as your business grows

When to choose Private Cloud:

• You want to minimise technical responsibility in-house
• You have multiple sites and need full remote access
• You want high availability without major infrastructure investments

Note: A private cloud requires a stable internet connection. Plan for backup routines in the event of temporary outages.

Which option is right for you?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer – only the solution that fits your business. Some prefer local control, others value the flexibility of outsourced operations. Either way, direct MES provides you with a powerful platform for efficient, modern manufacturing control.

AMS helps you assess your needs, IT environment and long-term plans – so you can make a confident, future-proof decision.
