Why a SaaS-Based ERP Is a Risk for a Business Setup Company

SaaS software is convenient, and for many business needs, that convenience is a fair trade-off. For a business setup firm handling passport copies, financial records, and immigration documents for hundreds of clients, the specific risks of a shared SaaS model deserve a closer look before committing to one.

Shared infrastructure means shared exposure

On a multi-tenant SaaS platform, many different companies' data lives on the same underlying infrastructure. A security issue affecting that infrastructure doesn't just affect one firm — it potentially affects every firm on the platform at once.

The provider controls terms that can change

Pricing, feature availability, and even data handling policies on a SaaS platform can change at the provider's discretion, and a firm using it has limited leverage beyond accepting the new terms or migrating away, which carries its own real cost and disruption.

What happens if the provider has problems

If a SaaS provider experiences financial trouble, gets acquired, or simply discontinues a product, every firm relying on it is affected simultaneously, often with limited notice, since it happens for reasons entirely outside their own operations.

The alternative worth considering

A domain-locked installation on a firm's own server avoids all three of these risks — dedicated infrastructure, terms the firm isn't subject to unilateral changes on, and no dependency on a shared platform's continued existence. This is the core reasoning behind Rukn's deployment model.
