Frequently Asked
Questions
What is an ASP?
ASP stands for
Application Service Provider. A company that functions
as an ASP offers software for use via the Internet. The
ASP industry is growing very quickly as software
companies and their customers realize the benefits of
using the Internet as a delivery vehicle for business
software.
What is a Web-based application?
Web-based applications are software systems that reside
on a server that is connected to the Internet. When a
user enters the web address (also known as the URL) for
a specific system, the user is connected to the
application and can use it as though it resided on the
user's computer. As with easyTIMESHEET, if the system
was designed as a web-based system, users can use and
administer the application anywhere a browser can be
accessed.
How does a Web-based application work?
Users access easyTIMESHEET using a PC and an Internet
browser. Phone access using Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
technology, as well as access using ID devices such as
badges or biometric readers are additional options. Data
passes from the user through secure Internet connections
to the Data Center, where the servers house the
easyTIMESHEET application and client databases.
How can a standard
application fit my company's business rules?
Web-based applications are designed by NetBase to allow
client companies to choose preferences that accommodate
various business rules and requirements. You can rename
categories of information, specify who has access to
what data, determine output formats, and make many other
choices to fit the system to your needs.
How does a Web-based
software application save me money?
Subscribing to Web-based solutions saves you as
much as 80 percent of the cost of purchasing a
comparable system. In addition to saving on software,
the client does not need to buy hardware, hire or assign
staff to maintain the system. Other advantages include
helpdesk support, automatic software upgrades, and
access to professional consulting staff for
customization and integration to other in-house systems
via web services.
Can NetBase
applications work with my current database systems?
NetBase applications,
such as easyTIMESHEET, are designed to interface
smoothly with all major accounting, payroll, and human
resources systems. Additional customization is available
through NetBase on a professional services basis.
