Hosted Service

IT Infrastructure |
Licensed Software requires your own Hardware server, Windows operating
System software, Microsoft SQL Server software, and you will setup and maintain
them. You will maintain the hardware, software, databases and backups yourself.
|
In the Hosted services, our hosting service provider manages the
entire hardware, software, and database infrastructure. The databases are backed
up on a daily basis. This provides a huge Information Technology (IT) infrastructure
cost savings.
|
|
Security and Privacy |
The database resides within your premises and hence your business
confidentiality remains fully under your control.
|
It is to be noted that data is outside your premises. However,
our hosted solution provides you full security and confidentiality.
