# Which education finance software offers on-premises hosting options and strong API integration with student information systems?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi G2 users, on-premises hosting is a hard requirement for some higher education institutions and it narrows the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/education-finance-software">education finance software</a> evaluation quickly. Curious which platforms genuinely offer it and which ones use "flexible deployment" to mean something closer to cloud-only with a few configuration options.</p><ol>

Has anyone run Jenzabar One on-premises at a mid-size institution and then evaluated moving to cloud? Curious whether the migration path was straightforward.</li>

&quot;Flexible deployment&quot; masking cloud-only setups is common enough in this category to push on hard. Jenzabar One explicitly offering on-premises with independent hosting is a meaningful distinction. Tyler School ERP Pro is the other name worth verifying directly before shortlisting.
