3. Saving you and your organization time and money in the long term with no detrimental impact. It gives you a competitive advantage.

Efficiency

Softlink’s cloud hosting enhances efficiency in the following ways:

4. Enabling your staff and users to work outside of the “office” using mobile devices anywhere, anytime, with enough internet speeds to support the system.
5. Automatic software updates ensure you use the latest version of your Liberty system and reduces the chance of security breaches.
6. No need to factor in down time, book your IT or find time yourself to complete upgrades. We set your updates to run automatically.
7. Saves you time because you no longer will you need to take the time to ensure your data is secured as is always the case when you replace your hardware.

Scalable, Dedicated Space

Softlink IC customers using cloud hosting can expect:

8. The secure storage of their valuable data in a dedicated space.
9. More efficient and effective scalability for your library and research systems and data use as needs expand and demands on your system change.
