Key Advantages of Web-Based Software
Although it may sound like a new term, chances are you use web apps every day. You were using one last time you sent an email, did your online banking or streamed your favorite television episode online. Put simply, web apps are programs that are accessed via the Internet and a web browser, and you may be surprised to hear it, but they are often better than traditional software. Here’s why the benefits of a web app are the smart choice when it comes to software:
It’s Safer
With traditional software, data is saved by users on their portable hard drives, laptops or USB drives. Although it may seem safe to do so, computer systems are rarely properly backed up, laptops are stolen, and most people don’t keep as up-to-date as they should with security updates and patches. This puts that data at risk.
When you use a web app, that data is stored in a highly-secured data center, and we make sure it is always backed-up and supported with the latest security measures.
It’s Centralized
Web apps centralize all your data and let you access it from any computer, anywhere, anytime, as long as you have the password. This centralization is safe and convenient, and it eliminates the worry of leaving data on the wrong computer. You’ll feel more secure knowing that it is also safely stored in one place on the web.
It’s Updated Automatically
Forget about downloading and installing updates. Unlike traditional software, web apps are automatically updated whenever a new feature or security measure is available. This reduces the time spent managing the software and more time simply using it.
It Works Everywhere
Web apps make the whole world your office. You can access the software and the associated data wherever you go, whether it be home, a client’s office or a hotel. You can even access it from your mobile phone. Thanks to cloud software, some web apps can even function without a browser. As long as you have Internet access, you have access to the web app.
