Benefits of a Browser Based Application for your School

Cross platform compatibility

Most web based applications are far more compatible across platforms than traditional installed software. Typically the minimum requirement would be a web browser of which there are many. (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Crome, Safari to name but a few). These web browsers are available for a multitude of operating systems and so whether you use Windows(XP/7/8), Linux or Mac OS you can still run the web application.

More manageable

Web based systems need only be installed on the server placing minimal requirements on the end user workstation. This makes maintaining and updating the system much simpler as usually it can all be done on the server. Any client updates can be deployed via the web server with relative ease.

Reduced costs

Web based applications can dramatically lower costs due to reduced support and maintenance, lower requirements on the end user system and simplified architecture. By further streamlining your business operations as a result of your web based application additional savings can often be found.

Less Manpower needed to Manage the System

Application can be hosted on other servers which completely removes the need for your on site staff to maintain the systems. Or if you want then the software can be installed on your own servers too and can be accessed in your Intranet.

Simple to use and Learn

If your employees can browse the web to check the emails and bank accounts, they can quickly and easily learn the browser based software too.

Data Security

 Data in browser-based systems resides on high performance hardware servers owned by companies whose sole purpose is to provide secure data environments. By using their services, you greatly reduce your data loss risk. Data is not on the company site and so is not subject to natural or other disasters. Data is more secure because of regulations and standards adopted by the companies providing the data servers or hardware.

Easily customisable

The user interface of web-based applications is easier to customise than it is in desktop applications. This makes it easier to update the look and feel of the application, or to customise the presentation of information to different user groups.

Accessible Anytime from Anywhere

 Browser-based systems are accessible from any computer, laptop, tablet or a browser based Mobile. In today's world we cannot ignore this advantage.
