Who is cloud technology suitable for?
The use of cloud technology is still one of the current IT trends today, even in the field of identification systems. The Aktion online attendance solution for small businesses uses a cloud-based form of communication. Moving the identification system from the server to the cloud eliminates the complex configuration, server installation, regular maintenance and system updates. Not only the connection, but also the extension of the cloud-based identification solution is very simple and it does not matter whether we want to install it in one location or perhaps in several locations that are not connected to each other. New devices just need to be connected to the Internet, automatically connect to the cloud server, register and then just enter access or attendance parameters via any online web browser.
What about data security?
Previously often cited concerns about data security in the cloud are largely overlooked, as cloud solutions can in the vast majority of cases offer a higher level of security than can be achieved even with an on-premises installation. The security of attendance data in the cloud is an absolute priority, which is why we use the Microsoft Azure platform, which meets high European standards for data protection and privacy security. Data transfer from individual terminals and controllers to servers on Microsoft Azure is secured with 256bit AES encrypted HTTPS protocol. Such a solution offers a much higher level of security than most small and medium-sized businesses would be able to achieve if they had the system installed on their own network.
Aktion for everyone
The advantage of the Aktion cloud solution is also automatic software updates and backup of attendance data. Cloud-based attendance system solutions therefore appeal to smaller companies that could not previously afford to install a complex system due to high investment costs and even demanding maintenance.
The Aktion attendance and access system offers the possibility of installation on its own server in cases where a company or organization has already built the necessary IT infrastructure with its own IT department and requires to have data stored only in a private network. In this case, they choose a server-based attendance solution.
