Control without a platform team
Self-hosting gives you control over where data lives, what it costs and when it changes. It also gives you a queue of release notes, certificates, backups and alerts that somebody has to handle every week. For most IT departments that somebody does not exist, which is why the SaaS contract won in the first place.
Pilae takes the queue. The Pilae Agent plans each update and waits for your approval. Monitoring probes every app every 60 seconds, and alerts reach our engineers around the clock. Backups run daily and are tested every month. Your team keeps the decisions: which apps run, where, and when they change.
One contract instead of many
Each SaaS service brings its own contract, its own renewal date and its own terms. With Pilae, the apps you run sit under one agreement with one SLA, one data processing agreement and one written exit plan. Adding an app is a change to the contract, not a new procurement.
When you are ready to look at costs, pricing explains how plans are put together, and managed operations sets out what our engineers do day to day.
Where to start
Most heads of IT start with one service that costs too much or holds data they would rather keep close: file sharing, chat, the service desk on Zammad, code hosting on Forgejo or GitLab, automation or an AI assistant. The leaving SaaS page shows how a first move runs, and onboarding explains what the fixed price covers.
