Web-Hosted Software?!?

Web-hosted software safely stores your information on a data-server on the internet. All that is needed is a computer with an internet connection.

Why would I choose Web-Based?

With IDS, your data is not just stored on one simple server computer; we have 5 processors storing your data onto our server which is mirroring your data onto another server. With just 2 out of the 5 processors operating, we can still process over 10,000 trips per day. If one of the servers stops operating, the other mirrored server kicks in, without losing a single byte of your information. Not only is your data being back up, continuously to the millisecond, your business will keep on running without you having to call for help from your IT Professional and wait for them to get things going - hoping that some backed up your data!

Sounds Great, But Is It Safe?!?

Did you know most major North American Banks use a web-based system to store your data and to link their branches and ATM machines? Why, because a secured web-based system is safer than a computer sitting in an office, yet provides access anytime, anywhere.

If my internet is down, my office can’t take orders

One big benefit for IDS’s web-based solution is its ability to handle a major catastrophe. From a simple power outage to an evacuation to a fire or flood that effects your office space, all your employees would need to do is pick up and move their laptop computers to safe location and plug them into the internet and their back in business – even if you were to lose your computers through a fire or flood, all you would need to do is quickly download the software onto a new computer and your done. You will never lose any data and you can get back to business within seconds, all because your database is safely stored with IDS.

Corporate Data is in a Non-Trusted Environment?

The real answer is your data is safer with IDS than it is in your office.

First, we heard about offices been broken into and having their computers stolen; now, we are hearing that just the hard drives are being stolen. Why? The data stored on server is worth more than the hardware and identity thieves know it’s easier to break into a small business’s office and steal the data, than it is to steal the data from a secure web-based server as is used by IDS.

Plus, with IDS, your data is not just stored on one simple server computer; we have 5 processors storing your data onto our server which is mirroring your data onto another server. With just 2 out of the 5 processors operating, we can still process over 10,000 trips per day. If one of the servers stops operating, the other mirrored server kicks in, without losing a single byte of your information. Not only is your data being back up, continuously to the millisecond, your business will keep on running without you having to call for help from your IT Professional and wait for them to get things going.

Finally, when you become a client of IDS, you will receive a contract signed by IDS stating that you own the data. We legally agree to never mine, sell or distribute any of your information to anybody.

Customizations Limited to What can be done over the Internet in a Browser Format?

While some web-based software uses internet browser software such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, IDS has its own stand alone client software application. There are no customization limitations.
In fact, IDS can provide more powerful customizations utilizing the anywhere, anytime access of the internet than a simple office server based application. IDS can deploy your customizations quickly with a simple download, without you having to pay for a technician to deploy it for you.
