Yes, Microsoft Dynamics can be deployed both on-premises and in the cloud. Microsoft provides organizations with the flexibility to choose the deployment option that best suits their business requirements, IT infrastructure, and preferences.
On-Premises Deployment: With an on-premises deployment, organizations host the Microsoft Dynamics software and databases on their own servers and maintain full control over the hardware and software environment. This deployment option gives businesses more control over their data and infrastructure but requires them to handle software updates, maintenance, and backups internally.
Cloud-Based Deployment: Microsoft Dynamics 365 primarily operates as a cloud-based solution, hosted on Microsoft's cloud platform known as Microsoft Azure. With cloud deployment, organizations access the software and data over the internet through web browsers or dedicated applications. This approach offers several advantages, including automatic updates, scalability, high availability, and reduced infrastructure costs. Microsoft manages the infrastructure and handles routine maintenance and security, allowing organizations to focus on their core business operations.
