8. Do I need to run CODEXIS AI on-premises to connect to cloud SharePoint?

No. If you want to connect to cloud SharePoint, it is not necessary to run CODEXIS AI on-premises. The integration can also be implemented in cloud mode, provided that SharePoint is accessible through a standard authorized method and the appropriate connector or integration layer is available.

In this scenario, an on-premises deployment only makes sense if it is required by the customer's internal security policies, network architecture, or compliance requirements. The connection to SharePoint Online itself is therefore not a reason to switch to on-premises operation.
