Hosted Options
Whether you choose the On-Premises-Hosted (Intranet) or the Savance-Cloud-Hosted (Internet) you will access Workplace the same way. Both Workplace versions includes the Browser (Web), Application, Outlook Add-in, and Mobile interfaces for Workplace. The Browser/Web interface is accessed through a web browser, like Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. The Application interface is installed on the PC and runs as a program. The Browser/Web interface and the Application interface use the same database, so the two can be used interchangeably. And the Outlook Add-in is installed right into Outlook The major difference is that the On-Premises-Hosted (Intranet) is hosted on your server and the Savance-Cloud-Hosted (Internet) is hosted on our cloud.savanceworkplace.com server. Besides that, there are a few features that the Intranet version offers over the Internet version:
- Enhanced Security – even through we encrypt and compress, we serve our web pages over both HTTP and HTTPS, this means usernames and passwords can be sent in plain text. With the Intranet, you can control who has access to your Workplace and you can force users to use https for added security.
- Windows Authentication Support. Windows Authentication is only supported on the On-Premises-Hosted (Intranet).
- Built-In Active Directory and Excel import. Savance-Cloud-Hosted (Internet) users can use our separate tool to export their Active Directory or build their Excel sheets using our template and e-mail them to us to be imported. On-Premises-Hosted (Intranet) users can use the built in tools to take care of this entire process without relying on Savance.
- Multiple Organization Support. On-Premises-Hosted (Intranet) customers can create multiple organizations without buying an additional Workplace subscription. The users are calculated based off of the sum of all of your organizations. This allows organizations to create separate business units on the same Workplace server – thus providing separation, unique locations, and unique groups within each organization.
- User Customization and Access to Database Tables. Savance-Cloud-Hosted (Internet) users do not have access to source code or our database so Intranet users have the advantage to create custom reports or modify the web code to support their needs.
