Uncomplicated employee performance documentation software to support complex processes in law enforcement.
The idea has been thrown around about the possibility offering offsite hosting of GaurdianTracking. The system is defiantly a candidate since it’s going to be completely browser based. And since I am going to build the system in such a fashion that it could demonstrated on our servers, why not take it the extra step?
Well, the question becomes would departments be comfortable having a third party company host their employee documentation? Leo and Mike say no, and I have no idea. I myself am a big fan of off site hosting because it has so many benefits. The customer gets up and running very quickly and they also get all the updates to the software automatically. It’s usually a great way to offer the software at a lower price as well. The downside of course is that you are also hosting semi-secure data on an offsite server.
But if the server was secure and backups were guaranteed, would some department consider it? At any rate the software will always be downloadable for deployment on the customer’s local servers. But I will likely go ahead and stub in for offsite hosting possibilities, as it won’t add much work if we decide to try it. At the very least, it will give us a great way for customers to try before they buy.
