Benefits of Client Server Software

ShopWorx is available as a client-server software or a cloud-based system and there are many benefits to both options. While there often isn’t a right answer, there most likely is one that is best for your company. Here are some of the benefits of client-server software.

Benefits of Client-Server Software

Software solutions for businesses that are hosted on a client-server are ideal if your business already has a strong IT Infrastructure in place, and the accompanying support resources to administer it.

Having your system and, essentially, all of your electronic files on site can be useful because everything is in one place. This eliminates the threat of hacking and information theft from your sign business software or apparel ERP system, as the easiest way to steal electronic information would be to steal the hardware on which it is hosted. Many people like this client-server software option, as it is consolidated and in-house, which makes it secure. It is run via your own Intranet, making it more secure than using an Internet connection; although, with technology at the point at which it is, the difference in security between the two is diminishing.

Hosting your business software in-house also makes troubleshooting simple, since you can perform it yourself instead of waiting for the host to do so at a remote location should problems occur. The costs are also lower in the long run, since you pay a single upfront cost and then low monthly or yearly costs afterward. Cloud-hosted services typically have higher monthly costs that are required as long as you use your business software.
