I work with Freelancers to get the CAD jobs done. Orangescrum provided my team with a way to track and bill their time directly on the project they are working on. This saved me a lot of administrative work.

The enterprise execution gap
Why Choose Self-Hosted Project Management Over SaaS?
Every cloud project management tool is a tradeoff - convenience in exchange for control, now compounded by AI features that route your project data to third-party models. For organizations bound by GDPR, data residency laws, or internal infosec policies, self-hosted project management isn't a preference - it's a requirement.
01
Data sovereignty
Your project data sits on a vendor's servers, in an unknown jurisdiction. Your legal team knows the risk.
Project plans, resource data, client deliverables, and IP are subject to the vendor's T&Cs and infrastructure decisions. For regulated industries, this isn't a risk conversation - it's a hard no.
On-premise · Zero vendor access →
02
Compliance
GDPR, data residency laws, and sector-specific regulations require data to stay in a defined perimeter.
Data residency laws, government security frameworks, and internal infosec policies all point to the same conclusion: project data lives on infrastructure you control.
GDPR · ISO 27001 · Full data residency →
03
Security
SAML, LDAP/AD, IP whitelisting, 2FA enforcement, and audit logs - requirements SaaS tools lock behind enterprise tiers.
SAML 2.0 SSO with your IdP, Active Directory integration, IP range restrictions, admin-enforced 2FA, and tamper-evident audit logs - all included, configured by your team on your infrastructure.
SAML · LDAP · 2FA · IP whitelist →
04
Cost & control
Per-seat SaaS pricing compounds annually. Self-hosted is a flat license on infrastructure you already own.
A 200-person team on Jira Data Center with plugins costs six figures annually. Self-hosted Orangescrum is a flat license - you control the update schedule, backups, HA config, and total cost.
Flat license · Your infra · Your schedule →
05
AI data exposure
AI assistants in SaaS tools send your tasks, documents, and project context to third-party LLMs - data regulated teams may be legally barred from sharing.
Self-hosted Orangescrum keeps AI inside your perimeter. Point the built-in AI Chat and MCP Server at your own LLM endpoint or a self-hosted model (Ollama, vLLM) - no project data, prompt, or context leaves your network, and nothing is used to train an external model. You adopt AI without the data-exposure risk.

AI-powered · MCP-native
Self-Hosted Project Management AI, Inside Your Perimeter
Orangescrum offers an AI Chat and MCP Server that read real project data, log time, find blockers, and act on them. For privacy, AI isn't part of the default deployment - the AI package is added only on request, so nothing AI-related is installed or running until you ask for it. Once added, self-hosted keeps every AI request inside your infrastructure, routed through your own LLM.
In-Product AI Chat
Chat with Your Projects
Ask plain-English questions about tasks, blockers, sprint progress, and team workload. The AI reads your live workspace data - it doesn't guess.
Sprint health on demand - blockers, overdue tasks, velocity at a glance
Log time via chat - "Log 3 hours on the API integration task"
Create & update tasks - from meeting notes, standups, or ad-hoc prompts
Role-based access - Owner, Admin, User, Client, Guest permissions
Confirmation gates - AI never modifies data silently; every write requires approval
Rate limits & usage tracking - company & per-user caps, token analytics by provider
MCP Server
Connect Any AI Client
Orangescrum implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open standard. Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Codex CLI directly to your workspace.
15 MCP tools exposed - read projects, tasks, timelogs, team, search, create, update
2 built-in prompts - Daily Standup and Overdue Report, ready to use
Any LLM provider - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or bring your own
Full audit trail - every request logged with status code and response time
Zero extra provisioning - existing partner API key works as MCP token
120 req/min - rate limited, 5K daily quota per key

Frequently asked questions
Self-Hosted Project Management FAQ
Understanding Self-Hosted
What is self-hosted project management software?
Self-hosted project management software is a platform you install and run on your own servers or private cloud, rather than using a vendor-managed SaaS cloud. All project data, user information, and files stay within your infrastructure. This gives your organization complete control over data residency, security policies, update schedules, and compliance. Orangescrum self-hosted includes every feature of the cloud edition - Gantt charts, Kanban boards, resource management, budget tracking, and enterprise security - plus self-hosted-only capabilities like air-gapped deployment and bring-your-own-LLM AI, all running on your hardware.
What is self-managed project management?
Self-managed project management is another term for self-hosted deployment. Your IT team manages the installation, configuration, updates, and infrastructure. Orangescrum self-managed includes guided installation support, documentation, and an onboarding session so your team isn't starting from scratch.
What is the difference between SaaS and self-hosted?
SaaS runs on the vendor's cloud - your data lives on their servers, governed by their security policies. Self-hosted runs on your infrastructure - your servers, your database, your backup strategy, your firewall rules. Self-hosted is required when regulations such as GDPR mandate data residency, when security policies prohibit third-party clouds, or when you need air-gapped deployment with zero internet connectivity.
What is air-gapped deployment?
Air-gapped deployment means the software runs with zero internet connectivity. The entire application, database, and all features operate within a physically isolated network. This is required for classified networks, defense systems, SCIF environments, and any infrastructure that cannot have external connections. Orangescrum supports fully air-gapped deployment with offline license activation, offline update packages, and Docker images for internal registries.
What is on-premise project management software?
On-premise (or on-premises) project management software is installed directly on hardware within your physical data center or server room. Unlike cloud-hosted software, no data leaves your physical premises. Orangescrum on-premise supports Linux-based installation (Ubuntu, RHEL, Debian), Docker Compose, and Kubernetes deployments - with or without internet connectivity.
Why do enterprises choose self-hosted over cloud?
Enterprises choose self-hosted for data sovereignty (keeping project data within jurisdictional boundaries), compliance (GDPR and sector-specific regulations), security policies (corporate infosec requirements that prohibit third-party SaaS), cost control (flat licensing vs compounding per-seat SaaS pricing), and operational control (managing update schedules, backups, and HA configuration on their own terms).
Does Orangescrum self-hosted include AI features?
Yes. Orangescrum self-hosted includes a built-in AI Chat interface and an MCP Server. AI Chat lets you ask plain-English questions about tasks, sprints, blockers, and team workload - and take actions like logging time and creating tasks. The MCP Server lets external AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) connect directly to your workspace. On Enterprise plans, you can route AI through your own LLM endpoint so no project data leaves your network.
What is the Orangescrum MCP Server?
The Orangescrum MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol - an open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to your project data. It exposes 15 tools (projects, tasks, timelogs, team, search, create, update) and 2 built-in prompt templates (Daily Standup and Overdue Report). Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, and any MCP-compatible client. Rate limited at 120 req/min with full audit logging.
Can I use my own AI model with self-hosted Orangescrum?
Yes. Orangescrum supports bring-your-own-LLM. Configure OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, or any compatible provider via the admin panel - no code required. On Enterprise self-hosted plans, you can route through a local model (Ollama, vLLM) so AI context never leaves your infrastructure. Switch providers at any time.
Industry & Use Case Fit
Is Orangescrum suitable for banking and financial services teams?
Yes. Orangescrum self-hosted is used by banking and financial services organizations that require data sovereignty, SAML SSO with corporate identity providers, IP whitelisting, admin-enforced 2FA, and full audit logs. Project budget tracking, cost-to-company rates, profitability reports, and client billing features are particularly relevant for financial services teams managing client engagements and internal projects. Talk to our enterprise team →
Is Orangescrum suitable for defense and military teams?
Yes. Orangescrum supports air-gapped deployment for classified and disconnected environments with zero external network calls. Features include offline license activation, Docker image cloning for internal registries, SAML/LDAP integration with government identity providers, IP whitelisting, admin-enforced 2FA, and tamper-evident audit logs. The platform runs entirely within your security perimeter. Talk to our deployment team →
Can government agencies use Orangescrum self-hosted?
Yes. Orangescrum is deployed by government agencies including municipal, state, and federal organizations. The platform supports data residency requirements, SAML SSO with government identity providers (ADFS, Azure AD), LDAP/Active Directory integration, and air-gapped deployment. Current government customers include NYC Police and Parks, City of Luxembourg, and Government of India agencies.
Can healthcare and regulated teams use Orangescrum self-hosted?
Yes. Because Orangescrum self-hosted runs entirely on your infrastructure, all patient and project data stays within your control - you own data residency, access policies, encryption, and audit logging. The platform includes SAML SSO, LDAP, IP whitelisting, admin-enforced 2FA, custom RBAC, and tamper-evident audit logs, so your security and compliance team can configure it to your internal requirements.
Can regulatory and compliance teams use Orangescrum?
Yes. Orangescrum self-hosted is designed for organizations operating under regulatory requirements. Orangescrum is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001-certified, and self-hosted deployment gives you the controls to meet your own regulatory and data-residency requirements. Features like workflow automation with audit trails, document management with approval workflows, risk management, and tamper-evident logging support regulatory and compliance workflows directly.
Is Orangescrum suitable for IT services and consulting firms?
Absolutely. Orangescrum was built for ITES companies and service delivery teams. Resource management with utilization heatmaps, project budget and cost tracking, client billing, time tracking, profitability reports, and multiple methodology support (Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid) make it the complete platform for IT services project delivery. Self-hosted deployment means your client data stays within your infrastructure.
Is Orangescrum suitable for manufacturing and engineering teams?
Yes. Manufacturing and engineering teams benefit from Gantt chart scheduling, resource capacity planning, milestone tracking, budget management, and multi-project portfolio views. The self-hosted deployment ensures project IP, engineering specifications, and production schedules remain on your infrastructure. The risk management and document management add-on modules are particularly relevant for engineering workflows.
Migrating from Jira
Is Jira Data Center reaching end of life?
Yes. Atlassian has announced end of life for Jira Data Center (alongside Jira Service Management, Confluence, Bamboo, and Crowd Data Center) on March 28, 2029, when subscriptions expire and instances become read-only. New Data Center subscriptions closed on March 30, 2026, and license expansions end on March 30, 2028. Jira Server separately reached end of life on February 15, 2024. Teams that must keep project data on-premise are evaluating self-hosted alternatives like Orangescrum ahead of these deadlines. Talk to a migration expert →
When does Jira Data Center reach end of life?
Atlassian's published timeline: new Data Center subscriptions closed on March 30, 2026; license expansions and new app purchases end on March 30, 2028; and Jira Data Center reaches end of life on March 28, 2029, after which subscriptions expire and the product becomes read-only with no further updates or support. Through that date, Atlassian provides technical support and security fixes for critical vulnerabilities only. (Bitbucket Data Center and Jira Align are not part of this end of life.)
Can I migrate from Jira Data Center to Orangescrum self-hosted?
Yes. Our enterprise team runs the migration end-to-end: discovery call, data mapping, a test import on a staging instance you validate, then go-live with an onboarding session and a 30-day support window. We map projects, epics, stories, sprints, tasks, comments, attachments, users, and custom fields. Most Jira Data Center migrations complete within 1-2 weeks.
How do Jira features map to Orangescrum?
Epics, stories, and sprints map to Orangescrum's native agile hierarchy; Jira boards map to built-in Scrum and Kanban boards; JQL filters and dashboards map to saved views, custom dashboards, and advanced BI. Capabilities that need paid Marketplace apps on Jira - time tracking, resource management, budget and cost, client billing - are built into Orangescrum, and SSO/SAML, LDAP, and 2FA are included at no extra cost.
Will I lose any data migrating off Jira?
No. Before go-live we run a full test import on a staging instance and you validate the data - projects, work items, history, attachments, and users - against your live Jira instance. Only after you sign off do we run the production migration. Your existing Jira instance stays untouched until you confirm the cutover.
Why move from Jira Data Center to Orangescrum instead of Jira Cloud?
Jira Cloud is SaaS - your project data lives on Atlassian-managed infrastructure, which many regulated, banking, defense, and government teams cannot accept. Orangescrum self-hosted keeps everything inside your own perimeter with flat licensing instead of compounding per-seat pricing, every cloud feature plus self-hosted-only controls, and optional fully air-gapped deployment.
Purchase, Licensing & Support
How do I purchase Orangescrum self-hosted?
Contact our enterprise team for a custom quote based on your team size, deployment requirements, and add-on modules. The process: consultation call, custom quote, license activation, guided deployment (typically 3-5 business days), and onboarding session. View pricing plans →
What license types are available?
