Capability · Self-hosted orchestration
Automation with n8n on your infrastructure
We design n8n workflows to connect documents, orders and requests across your systems. We assess hosting in your cloud or data center, available APIs and what information is sent to each external service.
Advantages
Four advantages this architecture brings to your business
These advantages involve trade-offs. The full analysis — including scenarios where each platform falls short — is in the criterion-by-criterion comparison of Power Automate and n8n.
- Data residency: We review where the engine is hosted and which data needs to reach connected services.
- Operating costs: We size infrastructure, maintenance, external services and applicable licenses.
- Workflow delivery: We agree on workflow exports and documentation of their dependencies.
- Logging and follow-up: We define which executions to log, how long to retain them and who handles alerts.
The architecture principle
The engine runs within your perimeter
We assess deployment in your cloud or data center, credential management, log storage and connections to external services.
- Reviewed licensing: the edition and usage terms are checked against the capabilities the project needs.
- Portability from day one: workflows export as standard JSON files.
- Connects to existing systems through native connectors or APIs. See systems integration.
The first process to move to the orchestrator is prioritized using the nine most commonly automated processes ranked by volume, cost of errors, and risk, and its current cost is estimated with the ROI calculator.
