| So, what are web based applications? | Why is it better? |
| Web-Based Applications are applications that you use over the internet accessible over a web browser. You don't have to download any software or worry about upgrades. If you use web-based email programs like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail or social networking sites like facebook or orkut; then you are already using web-based applications. | While using web applications you don't have to worry about anything technical - you can focus on doing your work. The vendor (in this case us) handles all the security, backups, upgrades and all the other "IT guy" stuff. You can stay focused on what you're good at and we take care of the rest. |
While using traditional apps you save your data on your laptops, hard disks or in your private data centers which might not be backed up and everyone's machines may not have the latest data security patches & updates. On the other hand, when you are using our software, your data is stored in highly secure state of the art enterprise class data centers. We take a data back-up every day and store it at multiple locations. You access your data over a secured encrypted technology and can be rest assured of any security breaches.

While using traditional apps your data might be disorganized and sitting on multiple machines. This leads to high redundancy and it is extremely difficult to pool resources together. While you are using our applications your data is centralized and accessible over the web. You can easily share your data across your entire organization and with the public too. Our applications also empower managers to drive business intelligence from different sets of data entered by different users.
While using traditional apps, there is a high possibility of human errors and vulnerability which might lead to erroneous business decisions. On the other hand while you are using our applications there are less scope of inaccuracies due to automation and multiple users accessing and editing the same data.
While using traditional apps, you have to take care of installing software on your machines/servers and you have to keep configuring your systems after regular upgrades in the technology. On the other hand, while using web apps you don't have to worry about the upgrades at all, they are all managed by us.
Traditional apps are generally supported on certain platforms only. They are generally Windows software, Mac apps, etc. Our applications on the other hand, work on any platform with a web browser and internet connection - Mac, Windows, Linux are all supported.
Traditional apps generally have a onetime license fee / Cap-ex which is too costly for a SMB to afford. On the other hand, our applications come with a per user per month operational fee / Op-ex which makes it possible for a SMB to access enterprise grade app at an affordable cost.
What if you want to access your application from home or let's say over your blackberry or an Iphone? Traditional apps generally limit your access to your workplace and curtail your flexibility of using the apps on the move. On the other hand, web apps are accessible over a browser from anywhere - be it your PC sitting at home, your work laptop or your mobile phone.
All our applications are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
