Cloud computing comes in various forms. Fundamentally, cloud computing refers to accessing data or applications via an internet connection, rather than installing applications and saving data to an on-premise device. Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions are delivered via the cloud and ‘rented’ on a subscription basis. Autowork Online is both cloud and SaaS; it is a subscription service that is accessed via a web browser.
Autowork Online is a fully managed service so there is no software to update or maintain. Your data is stored in a state-of-the-art datacentre, with enterprise-grade facilities. Resilient infrastructure ensures maximum service uptime and advanced security systems keep your data safe.
- Your business data is completely safe and secure. It is accessible using a unique username / password and is only accessible to you and any other party you elect to provide the unique login credentials to.
- The infrastructure dedicated to your Autowork Online system is hosted in Claranet, the award winning data hosting centre.
- Your data is backed up on a daily basis and securely stored in a second location, giving you complete reassurance that your data is always safe.
