Convenience is one important factor why organizations are using remote access software to manage their businesses. There are myriads of other project management software in the market today and it may be confusing to some decision makers on what the best software to buy for their companies. Depending on the simplicity or complexity of your infrastructure, you can find freeware (free software) or commercial software that costs thousands of dollars. A factor in buying project management software that may further confuse you is server-installed software or remotely hosted service from a provider. Both have their advantages but if you want control and security, software installed on your local servers is the best. Advantages on Local Servers 1) Access over the physical device is close at hand especially when something goes awry. 2) Data security is ensured. 3) Since you own the server, costs on maintenance, repairs, and upgrades are minimal. 4) You get to keep your data. Remote hosting service provider may close shop and along with them, your data may vanish. Advantages on Remote Servers 1) Start-up expenses is less compared to local servers. 2) No computer technician or systems administrator required to set up and maintain your computer center.
