Cloud 9: The Benefits of Web-Based Software
One of the foundational features that Leads360 likes to boast about is the fact that our software is Web-based. Now although this may sound enticing, what does this actually mean for a user, and what are the true benefits of this type of system? Vinny Lingham, an award winning Entrepreneur puts it best on an article from his self titled blog. Check out some excerpts of his points that relate to our software below.
Never installed
Browser based software never requires installation processes or hard drive space. It lives in a virtual cloud in the Internet and this means that whenever you launch it, it always has the latest version.
Updates are seamless
Instead of having to patch each and every individual user, the patches/upgrades are applied to the server and each user received the updated version the next time they log in.
No admin rights required
Finally, a world where the network administrator in the company does not have to approve the installation of your software!
Available anywhere, anytime
The same way that people access their email from any browser, web apps are exactly the same.
Less environmental conflicts
There are certainly going to be a lot less bugs in Web based software, due to the fact that it is not depending on any of the hardware or environment settings in the OS that may usually cause a problem.
Usable from inexpensive PCs
$100 Laptops, here we come! What do you need a dual core processor for, if you’re running a thin client application? This opens up a world of cost savings for both companies and consumers.
No Viruses
No installation, means no viruses. Start shorting all those Anti-Virus stocks! Enough said!
