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. Access can be via PCs, laptops, mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets, as well as using ID devices such as badges or biometric readers as additional options. Data passes from the user through secure Internet connections to our Data Center, where the servers house the easyTIMESHEET application and databases.
