Enterprise software delivery is hard, but there’s a better way. (part 2)
In an ideal world, your enterprise customers would simply trust your multi-tenant SaaS product to handle everything. Unfortunately, for many enterprise use cases, this wishful thinking collides with harsh realities: data sets that can’t be moved cost-effectively, sensitive data that’s too risky to hand over, and regulatory constraints that make data movement impossible.

Enterprises that pushed hard for SaaS first are re-evaluating SaaS deployment models in four use cases: operational resilience, heavy data in play, privacy and control, and privileged access.
