Deployment Options — The Choice is Yours

Whether you prefer to own and manage your hardware and software, or you want to minimize your IT responsibilities and be up-and-running quickly, we’ve got you covered. You have several options to choose from when deploying SmartSolve: Cloud Software-as-a-Service, Managed Hosting, or On-Premise.

• Cloud Software-as-a-Service: Runs in The Pilgrim Cloud and eliminates the need for you to make an initial purchase of hardware, software, or implementation services. Instead, your purchase is distributed over the life of your service subscription. Your system and solution upgrades and validation activities are reduced significantly as Pilgrim can manage the upgrade process and handles both the Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operational Qualification (OQ) activities.
• Managed Hosting: Runs in The Pilgrim Cloud, reducing the burden on your IT team and eliminating your need to purchase hardware. You will purchase only the software and implementation services. Your system and solution upgrades and validation activities are reduced significantly because Pilgrim can manage the upgrade process and IQ and OQ.
• On-Premise: : Runs on your IT infrastructure and is managed by your IT team. It gives you greater control and long-term ownership.
