OmniMES as SaaS vs. On-Premise – What’s the Difference?

The OmniMES system can be deployed in two distinct models:

  • as a SaaS solution via the OmniPlatform (cloud-based),

  • or as an On-Premise installation (hosted directly on the client's server).

Each model addresses different organizational, budgetary, and technical needs. Below is a breakdown of their key characteristics and recommendations.

OmniMES as SaaS

(cloud subscription - predictable, fixed pricing)

✅ Ready to use in just a few minutes - no contracts, no installation required
✅ No need for your own servers or IT administrators
✅ Fixed monthly or annual subscription cost
✅ Flexible - cancel at any time
✅ Ideal for MVPs, small to mid-sized factories, or pilot projects

Technical Highlights:

  • System is automatically deployed on the provider's VPS within 5-10 minutes.

  • No infrastructure management required on the client's side - everything is preconfigured.

  • Two subscription plans available: Omni 150 and Omni 350 (150 or 350 active signals).

  • Data is stored for a limited time (e.g. 80 GB ≈ 97-365 days), depending on signal frequency.

  • Signals are only recorded after the user manually adds them to the system.

  • No implementation contract is required.

  • Limited flexibility in system customization or expansion.

OmniMES as On-Premise

(local installation - pricing evaluated individually)

✅ Full control over the system, its configuration, and stored data
✅ Preferred choice for large industrial facilities and corporate environments
✅ No limitations on signal count, storage frequency, or retention - provided the client's infrastructure supports it
✅ Option to deploy custom modules and integrations - highly scalable based on project needs

Technical Highlights:

  • Installed directly on the client's physical or virtual server.

  • Requires an implementation contract and license purchase.

  • Signal recording frequency and retention depend entirely on the client's own disk infrastructure and capacity.

  • All signals are automatically detected and technically recorded from the moment the system is launched.

  • In both models, signals must be manually activated by the user to be visible in reports and dashboards.

  • Full autonomy from cloud services - suitable for isolated or secure IT environments.
