On-premises vs. on-premise

Just say on-prem. Is that the solution? Let's find out!

Meaning of on-premises and on-premise

Use "on-premises" for software or data at an organisation's location, not "on-premise," which refers to an idea. Accuracy in technical terms reflects professionalism. "On-premises" means software, hardware, or data run locally within an organisation, not in the cloud or at a remote site.

What about on-prem meaning?

In casual conversation, some people might use "on-prem" as a shorthand, which is generally understood to mean "on-premises".
