SaaS vs. on-premise

Sidekick runs as hosted SaaS at app.oximy.com, or on-premise, deployed into your own environment. Both are the same product: the same threads, governance, and placements. What differs is who runs the infrastructure underneath.

	SaaS	On-premise
Where it runs	Oximy Cloud	Your own environment
Setup	None, start using it directly	Deployed and operated by your team
Model routing	Managed by Oximy	Runs through your own gateway and provider accounts
Best fit	The fastest path to a shared, governed workspace	Environments that need full control of infrastructure and data residency

Most teams start with SaaS. On-premise is for organizations whose infrastructure or data residency requirements call for a self-hosted deployment. For deployment models and the infrastructure boundaries behind each one, see Deployment. For the data and access questions to work through before either path, see Security and privacy.
