ASP (Software as a Service) Benefits
UpsideLive’s hosted (Software as a Service) application, also known as ASP (Application Service Provider) provides many benefits, especially for small- to mid size companies. Some benefits include:
- Rapid Deployment. Assuming standard web browsers are in place, little additional work is
required.
- No Software Ownership. Unlike traditional software solutions, there is no software to own. Because
UpsideLive is accessed over the Internet with Upside Software hosting both the application software and the database, this will reduce both software and system administration costs.
- Anytime/Anywhere Access. Authorized users worldwide, and in multiple locations, can access
UpsideLive from any location, at all hours of the day with just a PC a standard web browser and an Internet connection. This flexibility also allows employees to work at home or on the road more efficiently.
- Data Security. From the moment a user logs in, and every step of the way thereafter, all of the data transmitted is secured using 128-bit SSL encryption. Your data is securely stored through the use of firewalls protecting servers from unauthorized entry. Additional security is provided through frequent off-site, encrypted backups.
- Environmental Security. Your data and the application software are housed on servers located in an environmentally controlled, off-site location providing superior disaster recovery protection. In addition to temperature controls, fire suppression, UPS, backup power, and 24/7 security, access to the servers is only granted to authorized personnel.
- System Performance and Availability. Our system performance tools constantly monitor and help determine any potential problems ensuring proper capacities and performance standards are maintained at all times. Upside Software strives for 99% system availability for all customers.
- Automatic Software Upgrades. Stay ahead of the technology curve. Automatic software enhancements and upgrades to the latest version are free – and remember, there’s nothing to install.
