In preparing the office space for a hybrid workplace model, companies will also need to reconsider their office space usage, as it may look different compared to pre-Covid times. Post-pandemic, employees may only come into the office two to three times a day for team collaboration, training or meeting with clients. In these cases, office spaces may shift from the traditional assigned seating plan to a hoteling model where all spaces like meeting rooms and workstations are available for anyone to reserve and work at. Working with a hoteling model, several companies have turned to implementing technology solutions that can help their employees easily coordinate and reserve available spaces at the office.

The two most popular deployment options in today's integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) are Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and On-Premises (OnPrem). In the process of learning and narrowing down the right IWMS solution, you as the decision maker, or being a part of the procurement team, may come to a fork in the road when asked, "Would you prefer SaaS or OnPrem"? You may be asking yourself, what are these acronyms and terms? What is the difference between the two?
