With these numbers, I’d stick with the accountant. They work. They are flexible. They can be easily replaced.
With a SaaS product, I have to worry about whether their product works, if they’ll be around in a few years, how they’ll safeguard my data, if they’ll try to lock me in and increase prices, and if they can adapt to my changing needs. This decision process, alone, could easily nullify the projected savings.
