How secure is your hardware and your data? That’s a big question in today’s business environment. The migration to cloud services is the choice for most waste haulers. Simply put, you gain reliability, performance, and security all why paying and managing less. Security is controlled by the client, so only company management or authorized administrators have access. Soft-Pak takes it one step further by contracting outside security experts to perform annual security vulnerability assessments. Just part of the ongoing investment to make sure our clients are secure. Prevent data loss, secure corporate information, and ensure your operation is never down….. all on the Soft-Pak cloud.

How do you want to support the application and what makes sense for your organization? In today’s world of accessible high-speed internet and increased security, organizations have varied concerns that need to be addressed. Financial availability and internal resources are always a factor, however, ongoing costs (both in time and required maintenance) need to be evaluated to make the right decision. Purchasing a server is one thing, but having a knowledgeable staff (or 3rd party consultant) and the resources to support it while creating a disaster recovery plan are items that need to be addressed. Below is a list of questions that should be asked when considering what platform is best for your operations:

  • Do you currently own an internal server and who maintains the hardware?
  • Can your IT staff address additional hardware concerns?
  • Is your data secure and do you have a disaster recovery plan?
  • Is your data securely stored off-site?
  • Does your office support high-speed internet?
  • Do you require database access from home or do you support remote locations?
  • How easy is it to incorporate additional sites and users?
  • Are you acquiring or adding new facilities?
