With Data Financial you have the option of hosting your time and attendance solution within your network or allowing us to host it for you at our datacenter. There are strong arguments for both hosting options, and determining the best fit is an exercise in aligning IT resources with organizational goals.
In-House Hosting
Companies that chose to host in-house are in complete control of their maintenance, security, management, and connectivity — and that is just the way they like it. These companies generally have an IT infrastructure in place, but even those without large IT departments can host Data Financial Timecard with the confidence of the industries best support behind them.
DF Timecard - Software As A Service (Saas)
Some other benefits of In-House Hosting include:
The application can be restricted to your internal network (Intranet): Some clients do not want to provide internet access to their employees, and others don’t want the system to be accessed from outside the company.
Direct Database Access: Allows access to database information for additional uses, including additional report writers and the ability to extract data beyond the standard reports and exports.
Faster Return on Investment: By purchasing the Data Financial Timecard, you will compress your ROI cycle by owning rather than renting the application.
Active Directory (or LDAP) Authentication:
- Removes the requirement of having separate passwords to use and to maintain.
- Provides additional security of your existing password strength and age requirements.
- Eliminates the frustrations and the help calls from employees that have forgotten their passwords.
