Users who find areas to customize within the Microsoft Dynamics online suite (software as a service, or SaaS), generally will have those changes published as the changes are made---In a manufacturing setting it is recommended to schedule the publication of the changes when it is “least disruptive to users.”
With an on-premise install users will generally find similar options as those offered through the SaaS choice. It’s this kind of “parity” that aligns the cloud-based platform with the on-site deployment. Still, the on-premise software tends to provide users with more opportunity for customization.
Obviously, there are no upfront costs associated with customizing Dynamics. Of course, there are the costs for implementing an enterprise-scale platform on-premise. These costs generally involve server updates, training and any security issues---the cloud version, of course, will have it’s array of security patches in place, as well as any specific guidelines for compliance or regulatory issues.
