ALASKA Software is well equipped to provide cloud-based solutions to its partners.
The advantages of cloud-based services are numerous:
Backup and recovery: ALASKA Software ensures that the necessary backups of your data are made at regular intervals and in a professional manner. You do not have to worry about this anymore. Our preferred provider of hosting services also has the capabilities to recover information in the event of a major incident.
Flexibility: Cloud-based services are ideal for businesses with fluctuating demands. If your needs increase or decrease it’s easy to scale up or down your cloud capacity.
Automatic software updates: ALASKA Software provides for regular software updates, as part of our service agreement, be it for the ALASKA Forwarding or the ALASKA Liner Agency software packages.
Capital-expenditure reduced: Cloud-based solutions cut out the high cost of hardware. You simply pay as you use. The same principle we have developed for our ASP services.
Work from anywhere: with cloud computing, if you’ve got an internet connection you can be at work, provided your device is Microsoft Windows compatible. Your tablets and smartphones can get connected through our ALASKA WebPortal.
Before taking a decision on the level of services to be transferred to the cloud, a joint analysis is typically made on the pros and cons, the costs and benefits of each cloud-based scenario.
