Is the Cloud Application right for me?
If the following are all true, you might be a good candidate for cloud computing
- You have very reliable internet.
- You need to remotely access your business software from multiple locations or on the go
- You do little to no over the counter sales where customers may be waiting on you
- Application performance is not a high priority
- I am a small business with one location and require less than 10 users in the software at any time.
If the following are all true, you might be a better candidate for installed software
- You have an unreliable internet connection
- You primarily need to access your business from the office
- Over the counter sales (or other business where customers may be waiting on you) are an important part of your business
- Application performance is a high priority
- I am a large (or growing business), I have multiple locations, or I require more than 10 users in the software at any time.
Can I switch from your Cloud Application to your on-premises software solution?
Yes. If you outgrow our cloud application or require the added performance and connectivity found with an installed software solution, we can easily move your PTM-Vision data from the cloud to an onsite managed server solution or install it on your own high-performance hardware.
If you find that you are a good candidate for cloud computing and do not require any of the features currently unavailable in the cloud offering, it is also possible to switch from an installed solution to the cloud-hosted application as well.
