Cloud Computing and SaaS

Posted by Trevor Smith on March 12, 2010

Our applications have been "Cloud" based from first release and have adhered to the Software as a Service philosophy ie subscription based.  However over the next week we will be adding Microsoft SQL Azure support.  It will no longer be necessary to have a local SQL server. 
 
  • Data is streamed in real time to Microsoft's datacentres thus removing all database aministration concerns.
  • Flexible storage space on demand
  • Our applications create database schema on first run and ensure maintenance of schema
  • Auditors and ITIL service providers will be able to maintain multiple client databases, producing reports on demand
  • Audit local and remote sites with data globaly accessible from the cloud
  • Maximize the value of asset data by making it more accessible for integration with multiple business applications (eg project planning etc)
