February 2024 » thefivestar.com 41 February 2024 E X P E R T I N S I G H T S technology lies in the ability to seamless- ly deliver new enhancements and inte- grations with third-party services. When you have a lot of bespoke, on-premises client installations and you want to deploy something new, efficient, or just plain cool, there are a lot of hurdles for both sides to make the deployment work. It takes much more time and can be cost-prohibitive. In the cloud, you can deploy new integrations and features anytime you want, and it gets pushed out to everybody automatically. It's a much more streamlined process and makes it significantly easier to maintain a uniform and up-to-date system across the board. Q: Are security threats still an issue in the cloud? Berg: Absolutely. Security is an ev- er-changing landscape, and new security threats are constantly emerging. For a lot of clients, it's at the very top of their list of priorities. Warehouse lenders need to make sure that they're in compliance with new guidelines and regulatory re- quirements involving cybersecurity, just like every other company in our industry. When working with client-hosted systems, it's difficult to roll out security enhancements and updates, as we must work with each client individually. In the cloud, making updates and deploying security patches to comply with new guidelines is much smoother. With SaaS products in a cloud-hosted environment, everything is centrally managed and de- ployed. This means when we introduce an update or a security fix, it's instantly and uniformly pushed out to all clients. It's not only faster and more efficient but also ensures that all clients are on the lat- est, most secure version of our software. While this isn't the primary reason most of our clients move to the cloud, it is one of the most significant advantages.
