SaaS software vendors and digital agencies can quickly be overwhelmed if their number of clients grows. They end up copying and pasting the various technical foundations for each one of them. Their catalogue of offers is neither steered nor tied to their technical reality (for example: increased resource requirements, removal of the client). Which makes maintaining and monitoring these platforms impossible.
To make this management easier, at Premaccess we have developed an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution. BAM, which stands for “Build Automate Manage”. In IT, orchestration is the automated configuration, management and coordination of computer systems, applications and services. Orchestration handles infrastructure life-cycle management and guarantees their compliance.
Developed in-house for almost 15 years, BAM first served us to carry out the migration of all our clients to the AWS Cloud. It was such a success that we decided to make it available to as many people as possible. Version 5 of BAM is available here.
BAM is essential for SaaS software vendors and digital agencies that want to roll out the same uses in the form of an infrastructure catalogue across all of their clients.

The list of the main features of BAM through our management Console and our IaaS orchestrator.
BAM Console & Engine:
- Steer the life cycle of your platforms
- Rebuild your infrastructures
- Duplicate your infrastructures
- Deploy on demand
- Simplify the life cycle,
- Improve the quality and the evolution of your infrastructures
- Improve security by systematically putting in place all the AWS protections (authentication, filtering, certificates, encryption, etc…).
On the catalogue side:
- Easily manage your configuration catalogue available to your clients
- Schedule your non-production environments and optimise your recurring spend
- Automate the management of your platform updates
- Automate the deployment of your software updates
- Guide your teams with a specific catalogue to optimise the use of your resources on the Cloud
Our BAM solution helps you:
Manage your catalogues, avoid human error
Schedule the life cycle of your platforms
Stay compliant
BAM is
✓ Easy to use: you build your infrastructure in 10 minutes.
✓ Cost-effective: Optimise 30% on your Cloud bill.
✓ Secure: Automate your CISO requirements.
The Finops benefits (automating tag management)
This allows software vendors and agencies to observe their cost per client. As the single configuration is repeated for each client:
- If a client grows, the platform resources can increase automatically for that client only
- If a client disappears, we can suspend its platform temporarily, for example, for limited costs. If it ever comes back, we activate its platform again (a retention of 3 months, for example). Or we destroy it if it does not come back within the allotted time.
- If a client “blows up” or takes its platform out of service, the impact is limited to its own scope, and there will be no disruption for the other clients.
BAM gives you the agility you need to adapt the configuration and the resource requirements for each client. This solution allows complete isolation and elasticity per end client.
The other benefits of BAM
- It is easy to use: you build your infrastructure in 10 minutes.
- Isolation possible on several levels: By Landing zone, by account (a dedicated one per client, for example), by VPC and by subnets in a few clicks.
- It is agile : it lets you use the right resources efficiently at the right time.
- It is cost-effective: you reduce your costs, and cut your bill by 30% after deployment with BAM (average observed across our clients).
- It is secure: You avoid human error thanks to this automation tool and a catalogue matching the compliance levels put in place by your IT department and/or CISO.
- It complies with regulations: You can activate usage rules that will force your catalogues into compliance levels (PCI, SoC, etc).
The Premaccess teams designed BAM by following the industry’s best practices and simplified compliance.
