What are the Advantages of Web-Based
Software?
|
| First, what is web-based software
anyway? |
Web-Based Software is software you use over the internet
with a web browser. You don’t need CD’s to install, download
any software, or worry about upgrades. If you pay your bills
online, or track your stocks via a website or use web-based
email program like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail then you’ve
already used web-based software before.
|
| And why is it better for my
medical practice? |
When you use web-based software you don't have to worry
about anything technical like hardware, servers, updates,
security patches, or drivers — you just logon and do your
work. We handle all the security and uptime and backups
and upgrades and “IT guy” stuff. Your practice can focus
on patient care, while we do all the backend stuff.
|
Web-based software is much
safer. |
With traditional software,
employees save data on their laptops, USB drives, or portable
hard drives. It’s not as safe as it sounds. Laptops are
stolen, computers are rarely backed up properly, and it’s
unlikely everyone’s machines are up to date with the latest
security patches and updates. When you use our web-based
software, your data is stored on secure, always-updated,
backed-up daily enterprise-class servers in a state-of-the-art,
highly-secure data center.
|
Everyone has the latest data |
A key advantage to web-based
software is that all your data is centralized and accessible
over the web from any computer at any time. You can’t
leave something on the wrong computer since everything is
stored in one place on the web. You can get to it from
anywhere. Safe, secure, and password protected, of course.
|
Your data is automatically
backed up daily. |
Your data is backed up
every day. Our backups are stored in multiple locations
for additional redundancy. So basically even our backups
have backups. We’ve never lost anyone’s data and we won’t
lose yours.
|
Your data is safe and secure
with us. |
Our state-of-the-art servers
and datacenters are protected by biometric locks and 24-hour
surveillance. Our software and infrastructure is updated
regularly with the latest security patches. The traffic
on our network flows behind an enterprise-class firewall
to keep your data safe. Read more about Mrecord security.
|
You’re always using the latest
and greatest. |
Unlike traditional software
that requires you to download and install updates yourself,
our products are updated automatically. Whenever you
use our products you’re always using the latest and greatest
version.
|
There’s nothing to install,
ever. |
With our software there’s
nothing to download or install. Just log in with the
web-browser you already have (Internet Explorer 7, Safari,
or Firefox). It’s just like your online bank or web-based
email program.
|
You’ll never have to ask “Is
it compatible?” |
Software used to only be
available for certain platforms. There was Windows software,
Mac software, etc. Our software works on any platform with
a web browser and internet connection. Mac, Windows, Linux
are all supported.
|
You’re investment is future
proof |
Technology changes everyday
and can render your IT investment worthless. Since there
is practically no software obsolescence you can upgrade
hardware, networks, computers, operating systems, without
having to leave your existing IT investment behind.
|
Everyone on your team has access
to your data |
Since everyone you work
with logs into the same centralized account, you have a
single database with everything in one place. No more worrying
about who has the latest information: Everyone has it.
|
You can work from home, work,
or on the road. |
Perhaps the biggest plus
is that it gives you freedom – to work from anywhere. When
you use web-based software your office is everywhere. At
work, at home, a hotel, at a client’s office, even on your
mobile phone. You data is accessible anywhere with internet
access. Read more about Mrecord security
