Buying versus Building: The Business Imperative The PaaS option has two pieces: One is the platform, and the other is service. The PaaS isn’t just delivering software to your organization; it’s servicing it as well. As new updates and new configurations are authorized, the PaaS-based cloud service can control keeping the software updated based on customer requirements. One of the primary decisions you need to make is whether you want to setup, configure, maintain, and administer the PaaS yourself (either on a public or private IaaS) or whether you want a provider to give you a fully-serviced PaaS offering — leaving you as the consumer of that PaaS, not as the maintainer. If your organization decides to manage a PaaS based on your own purchased software, you’re still required to manage the details, including setup, configuration, monitoring, maintaining, and patching the software. When a company decides to use a service to manage these tasks, the result is reduced friction between the development and deployment organization. There will, of course, be situations when it’s critical for the internal team to control and manage complex software environments.
