Flexible Deployment Models and Limitless Scalability
The cloud-native Dalet AmberFin supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid configurations.ย Clients can choose from a pay-per-use model as either Software-as-a-Solution (SaaS) deployment managed and hosted by Dalet or hosted on their own AWS infrastructure.

Regardless of the deployment model, AmberFin provides the industryโs most flexible pricing and TCO to meet all budgets.ย
