Cloud Computing
Cloud ComputingWhen we first thought to develop the System100™ Solution for bringing a business to order, we wanted to be sure we were viable for the future.

We determined that the hosted, browser-based software platform was easily the most convenient and affordable way to get System100™ into the hands of owners of small to mid-sized businesses.

No software in a box … no special hardware to purchase … and no burdensome directions for installation. We wanted an application that could be accessed by customers from anywhere on the planet, day or night.

Other terms used to describe hosted/online solutions:

Cloud Computing - The term cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet. 
Cloud Computing is using/running an application/software that is at a remote facility by using your Internet browser (i.e. Gmail, Sales Force, and System100™).

Browser-Based Software (also called Browser-Based Application) - A Web application/app that is accessed via a Web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, over the Internet.

SaaS (Software as a Service) - Typically pronounced “sass”, this is a model of software deployment, whereby a provider licenses an application to customers for use as a service-on-demand.

Hosted Application - Software/app that is hosted from a remote facility that is accessible via the Internet.
