Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our platform and deployment options
Where does our data go?
It depends on your deployment model. With on-premise deployment, all data stays in your systems. With managed cloud or secure remote access, we may copy data to our infrastructure as needed to run the automations—similar to how an employee might work with copies of data. You choose the model that meets your security and compliance requirements.
Can we switch deployment models later?
Yes! Start with managed cloud and move to on-premise if requirements change, or vice versa. We'll work with you to transition smoothly.
What about intellectual property?
With our managed cloud and secure remote access options, our automation code and logic remain our intellectual property. For on-premise deployments, we can discuss licensing arrangements.
Do you support hybrid environments?
Absolutely. Many clients use a mix—cloud automations for SaaS tools, remote access for desktop applications. We adapt to your infrastructure needs.
How long does setup take for each option?
Managed Cloud: 1-2 weeks | Secure Remote Access: 2-4 weeks | On-Premise: 4-8 weeks (depends on your IT processes and security requirements)
Can our IT team audit your code?
For on-premise deployments, yes. For managed cloud, we provide documentation and can discuss specific security reviews on a case-by-case basis.
What if we have a complex network setup?
We've worked with complex enterprise networks, multiple VPNs, segmented environments, and air-gapped systems. Let's discuss your specific architecture—we're confident we can find a solution.
Do we need to change our current setup?
Usually not. We work with your existing infrastructure and software. One of our key differentiators is adapting to your environment rather than forcing you to adapt to ours.
