Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to questions you may have.
How do I know which VKS application hosting option is best for me ?
Choosing the right hosting option depends on your specific requirements and preferences. If you prefer a turnkey experience with minimal IT involvement, VKS SaaS is the ideal choice. For maximum control over your data and infrastructure, VKS Customer Hosted (On Premise), VKS Customer Hosted (Azure), or VKS Customer Hosted (AWS) are suitable options. Consider factors such as data security, customization needs, internet connectivity, and IT resources available within your organization. For manufacturers with complex regulatory requirements like ITAR, locally hosted solutions may be necessary.
Is my data secure in the cloud with VKS SaaS ?
Yes, your data is safe in the cloud with VKS SaaS. Storing data in the cloud is a budget-friendly option that lowers upfront costs and maintenance expenses. By choosing VKS SaaS, you can benefit from lower initial costs, faster implementation, increased flexibility, and quicker integration. By evaluating the benefits and your ROI, you can select the right hosting solution that lets you go paperless faster, giving you a competitive edge.
How is my data stored ?
Your data is stored securely based on the VKS application hosting option you select. With VKS SaaS, your data is securely stored in our cloud-based infrastructure, leveraging industry-leading security measures and data backup protocols. If you choose VKS Customer Hosted (On Premise), your data is stored and managed on your own servers, giving you full control and ensuring maximum control and privacy. Alternatively, you can also securely store and manage your data on Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) servers, leveraging their robust security and scalability features. Regardless of the hosting option you choose, your data is managed with the utmost security to protect your company's sensitive information.
