CARAT Ready-Made Software Is Now Available For Subscription Only

Wednesday, October 03, 2018

We are pleased to announce that our entire range of ready-made CARAT software is now available as a Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) instead of the previous model of the licence amount being paid at the beginning and followed by an annual maintenance contract.

With SaaS, CARAT software is now offered for use in return for a subscription amount that includes the software licence and support packaged together.

You may choose to subscribe on a monthly or yearly basis. If you choose the latter, you pay for 10 months instead of 12.

Welcome to our web site! We sell ready-made software that run in Windows and over the Internet and offer custom software development services.

All our software are designed to be easy to use, have simple features and are cost effective. We also know that providing good and efficient after-sales support is just as important. This is reflected in the prices of our software and services as we strive to keep costs low for you both during the initial purchase and thereafter.

Since we have both Windows and web software, how do you make a choice as to which to use and what benefits do each offer? Read on to find out more.

Software For Windows

The software on the left is CARAT Remind1st, an example of our software that runs in the Windows operating system. It is usually installed into the computer that it will be used. You can either use it in a standalone computer or install it in a server in a network where other computers can access it.

The program is self-contained and database files are stored externally as individual files in the same directory as the program. Since all required files for the software are in the same directory, moving it from computer to computer is very straightforward.

If your computer or your hard disk fails, it is just a simple matter of copying from your backups to the new computer or hard disk. No complicated processes or installation is necessary.

Windows based software are used at fixed locations and their data are not meant to be shared with offices or branches from other locations. You cannot typically use them over the Internet.

Technical support for these type of software are usually more involved and complicated because the support process includes the computer(s), routers, printers, operating system and third party software like anti-viruses.

Licensing and support costs are also higher.

Web Applications

These software offer the greatest flexibility in terms of usage, cost savings and data sharing. The screenshot on the left is of iCARAT Client Access Manager, our web application to allow users to download updated installers for their CARAT software.

Web applications can be used from within and outside the office, do not require installation and allow their data to be shared by authorised users from anywhere.

Another advantage of web applications is that you can use them from Windows, Android, MacOS or Linux operating systems via their web browsers in a multitude of hardware devices.

Licensing and support costs are lower because the application resides at one place and fixes can be carried out almost immediately without having to prepare patch files.

If you have multiple offices, warehouses and locations or where data sharing between holding, subsidiary and associate companies are needed, a web application is the ideal software to use.

Off-the-shelf web applications are only available online while customised software can have the option of installation in your local server if higher performance, added data capacity, physical security and scalability is required.
