Traditional
Applications
Traditional applications are what
you are used to using. They are the GUI based
applications that run locally on your PC
and have been installed on your hard drive,
or run off a disk. Some do interact with
a central server in some capacity, but most
of the processing is done by the computer
itself. To run effectively these applications
need to have specific hardware and software
components and settings, which must be installed
on your system, upgraded, and if it breaks
an outside technician is often needed to
work on your PC. Browser based applications
are the new way of distributing and using
software.

Browser Based Applications
A browser based application, such as Spiral
Systems, lets any user with access to an
internet browser have access to all the features
and functionality of the software through
a centralized browser based user interface.

Thanks to marked advances in Internet
technology, it is far more useful and economical
for educational institutions to utilize our web-based
application, which stores critical data offsite
in our secure data center.
Key benefits of a web-based system:
|
No installation
or upgrades to download
|
No software
to install on each user's PC for new user.
Upgrades and updates are applied instantly
for all
users. |
Availability |
The software is available from anywhere
on the Internet at any time. |
Security |
We use SSL encryption on our applications,
the same security and protection features
used for online banking transactions. |
Platform
independent |
It doesn't matter if you run Windows 2000,
XP, Mac OS, Linux, etc., Spiral Systems will
run flawlessly and share information seamlessly
throughout all offices and homes. |
Reduced Cost |
There
is no need for special hardware or software
packages, and there are no system
requirements besides an internet connection
and a web browser. Because there is never
anything to download or manage, IT headaches
and costs are significantly reduced.
In addition, Spiral Systems is managed
on
our centralized servers so your information
is completely secure and your school
never needs to spend money on maintaining,
installing, or fixing a server. |
|
Simple to use |
If your employees
can browse the web to check their E-mail,
they can quickly learn
to use our software. A web based system
allows for ease of use as it mimics the
simplicity
of the web’s most common features
and sites. |
