| Total Cost of Ownership | Capital costs are incurred only for IT infrastructure (not for license) if deployed on-premise. Also, can be deployed on the cloud so that there would not be any capital expenses and all would be OPEX. The software does not demand high-end computation power nodes. No need to pay the fee annually for product upgrade patches | High capital expenses, if deployed on-premise, as license fee would add to the IT Infrastructure costs. If deployed on the cloud, vendors would charge by user/transaction volume/computation power |
| Technology Used (Proprietary/Open Source) | Developed using open source technologies such as Java and PostgreSQL. Due to open source database PostgreSQL, any number of custom schemas can be added | Developed using proprietary technologies & databases. Any extension to the databases is restricted by licensing model |
| Partner Network for Support | The partner network is not extensive but there are dedicated partners available in all the major cities across the globe | An extensive partner network is available as these vendors have been building the network for many years |
| Deployment Mechanism (On-premise/Cloud) | Can be deployed on-premise or as Software-as-a-Service model. SaaS services are provided by Triniti | Both flavors are available–On-premise as well as the cloud. However, the SaaS model is still maturing as there are a lot of limitations in terms of customization |
| Analysis & Reporting | Basic in-built reporting functionality. Extended reporting functionality is provided by Triniti’s eWorksheets | Apart from the in-built reporting, additional BI & analytical reports can be built using the proprietary tools licensed along with the enterprise application |
| Integrations with Third-Party Applications | Easy to build integrations with any third-party software, as it has in-built APIs and interfaces | Integrations can be built with any third-party applications but an extensive effort would be required for building the integrations |

| Support & Maintenance | No need to maintain an internal IT support team from a functional standpoint. Also, no high-skilled manpower is required for infrastructure maintenance. The annual support fee is only for enhancements and day to day functional support. All critical upgrade patches (functional or security related) can be downloaded and applied | High-skilled Database and Application administrators are required for application maintenance while experienced technical and functional consultants are required for day-to-day support and enhancements. To be able to download all critical patches, an application support fee needs to paid to the vendor annually |

|---|---|---|
| Access Controls | A complex role-based access control matrix can be implemented. Administrator & technical staff access to sensitive business data can be restricted | User-based access controls. Administrator & technical staff access cannot be restricted |
| Data Integrity — Deletion of Transactions | Transactions can only be reversed & not deleted; therefore maintaining the transaction trail & history | Without leaving a trace, transactions can be deleted from the application |

| Key Differentiator and USP | Designed and built to standardize enterprise-wide business processes and enhance efficiency in management control and decision making | Designed for ease of operations for clerical and finance staff. As controls are not up to the mark, transaction entry is typically done to suit statutory filings |
| Application Architecture | Based on industry-standard modern 3-tier architecture. Deployed on Apache web server and supports leading DBMSs, which can handle a large volume of transactions/ data size. Application and database servers can be separately installed | Based on a proprietary single-tier architecture that has limitations in scalability as the organization’s business grows.
