FAQ

Quick overview: Your questions, our answers.

CONTACT Software provides its products both via on-premises installation and in the cloud – either as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution.

The development and operation of cloud products based on CONTACT Elements meet the strict requirements of ISO 27001. The certification confirms CONTACT's effective management of information security risks and guarantees the protection of data.

A change between cloud and on-premise installation is possible at any time and in any direction. This way you remain agile and able to act, even in the event of changes such as company takeovers, sales or changes in strategy.

In on-premises operations, companies must provide and maintain their own server infrastructure for running software. These efforts are eliminated when operating as Software as a Service (SaaS), as the application runs on a cloud provider's servers. Additionally, maintenance and technical administration efforts are reduced. Updates, upgrades, and patches are installed automatically. Regular security backups ensure that important data is always available and protected.

With Software-as-a-Service in the cloud, customers receive a pre-configured system with central business applications that can be customized within predefined options. For companies that have a high need for customization of their cloud solution, our Platform-as-a-Service offering is better suited. It consists of the complete modular system of CONTACT Elements and a development platform that enables a modern DevOps process. This allows customers to combine and adapt all PLM applications to their requirements as needed, develop individual software modules themselves, or have them developed by us.
