When choosing a Student Information System (SIS), institutions must decide between cloud-based and on-premise solutions. A cloud-based SIS offers accessibility from anywhere, automatic updates, reduced IT maintenance, and scalable pricing, making it ideal for schools seeking flexibility and cost-effectiveness. In contrast, an on-premise SIS provides greater control over data, enhanced customization, and compliance with strict security policies but requires significant upfront investment, dedicated IT resources, and ongoing maintenance. Ultimately, the choice depends on a school’s budget, IT capabilities, and need for flexibility versus control. Cloud-based solutions are increasingly preferred for their convenience and lower total cost of ownership.
