Cloud vs. On-Premise: Why Ki-Wi Signage Offers Flexibility with Both Digital Signage Solutions

Imagine standing at a crucial crossroads. Your company needs to implement a Digital Signage system, but you're unsure whether to choose a cloud or local solution. Each option has its pros and cons, and you want to avoid making the wrong choice. What if you didn't have to choose? What if there was a solution offering the best of both worlds?

Welcome to Ki-Wi Signage, where flexibility isn't just an empty promise but a reality. Ki-Wi Signage understands that each organization has unique needs and infrastructure. That's why they offer both cloud and on-premise solutions. This dual offering allows you to choose the path that best suits your specific requirements without compromising on quality or functionality.

Let's look closer at what each solution offers and why Ki-Wi Signage is unique in its ability to provide you with genuine choice and flexibility.

Cloud Solutions: Ki-Wi Signage ENTRY and Ki-Wi Signage PREMIUM

Ki-Wi Signage ENTRY   Ki-Wi Signage PREMIUM

Cloud-based Ki-Wi Signage offers numerous advantages:

  • Rapid Deployment: Cloud solutions can be implemented almost immediately, without the need for installation on virtual servers or proprietary hardware. It uses SaaS cloud solution via web application directly in the web browser.
  • Scalability: Cloud solutions easily adapt to growing business needs, from units to thousands of displays. However, if a company needs more than 15 licenses, an on-premise solution may be more economical.
  • Access from Anywhere: Content management is possible from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Automatic Updates: Software is always current, without the need for manual updates.
  • Lower Initial Costs: Cloud solutions don't require significant hardware and infrastructure investments.

Ki-Wi Signage ENTERPRISE On-Premise Solution

On-premise solutions offer specific advantages that may be ideal for larger installations and sensitive environments:

  • Complete Control: All data and systems are under direct company control.
  • Enhanced Security: Sensitive data remains within the company's internal network, ensuring higher security levels.
  • Internet Independence: The system can operate without constant internet connectivity.
  • Customization: Possibility for deeper integration with existing company systems.
  • Long-term Cost Effectiveness: After higher initial investment, long-term costs may be lower.

While the on-premise solution is more expensive – approximately three times the cost of the PREMIUM cloud solution – it provides significantly greater control and security, which is crucial for some clients. For projects with more than 15 licenses, on-premise installation is usually preferred due to economic and practical advantages.
