Benefits Over Traditional Software

Still unsure about using centralized, collaborative software? Still unsure about on-demand web-based software?

If after reading through the many useful and beneficial features that our intranet software offers, you still aren't sure about signing up, you may like to hear about additional benefits of a web-based solution.

Secured Access From Anywhere

In this age of high-speed Internet connections and powerful software, if you can't connect to your data and files at all times, something is wrong. Chances are the best solution you have is via email or a remote connection to your desktop computer at work - and neither of these solutions are practical, secure, or efficient (see: security). Adopting a web-based solution means that your data is securely accessible at all times, from anywhere with an Internet connection. Confining yourself and your team to individual computers is primitive and inefficient.

Lower Costs & Instant Setup

Traditional networked software often requires massive up-front costs and a large amount of time to implement. First, a server, the powerful computer required to host the software, must be purchased, which usually comes with a cost in the thousands. The server then needs to be setup and configured, which requires time and additional funds for the technician(s) being paid to do it. Software then needs to be purchased and installed - another initial, usually high cost, and more time spent just with setup. So months later, and thousands spent, you finally get to begin using software. Is there a better way?

With on-demand web-based software, you:

Only pay for what you use - a small monthly fee per user and memory consumed.
Gain instant access to software ready to be used.
Avoid purchasing and configuring servers.
Avoid paying a team of technicians.

No Long-Term Commitments

Traditional software packages require you to either sign a minimum year-long contract or purchase the software outright - sometimes before even being able to try it. What if you're not happy after a month? Here, there are no long-term commitments. You pay on a monthly basis and are free to cancel your subscription at anytime without penalty.

Centralization & Collaboration

The reign of the desktop computer is dying quickly. In today's world of interconnectedness, with high-speed networks and advanced web-software, it no longer makes sense to confine yourself, and your office, to individual desktop computers. Businesses and teams are only as effective as how well they work together, communicate, and collaborate. A centralized solution means:

No more scattered copies of files and documents, mismatched versions, and missing information.
No more worrying about file backups and synchronization.
No more missing task deadlines or forgetting about events.
No more reliance on an overloaded, unorganized, email inbox.
No more sending out multiple emails with multiple responses simply to get a single message around the office.
No more being tied to the computer on your desk.
No more digging through a pile of business cards to find a phone number or address.

The Flow of Information & Data

Traditional Methods	With OfficeMedium Software

Compatible With Any Operating System

The personal computer market has become more diverse than ever. Windows™ is no longer the only available operating system that is widely available. Individuals and businesses are adopting alternatives such as Apple and Linux based products. This causes quite a problem because traditional desktop software is almost always meant to run on only one operating system. What if your traveling sales team uses Linux-based netbooks while on the road? What if you're working at home on your Macbook? With web-based software, operating system is irrelevant. The only thing you need is a web browser and an Internet connection.

No Updating or Patching Software

Traditional software often requires that you, the end-user, install updates and patches periodically. Why should the user be responsible for handling updates, new features, or bug fixes? Most often, you would have to pay a technician to do the work for you. With web-based software, you leave the headache to us - which is where it belongs. No more downloading and installing updates, no more skimming through tech manuals, and no more wasted time with customer support. We manage the entire technical side so you can fully enjoy the software you are paying to use.
