"Software-as-a-Service is one of the most important trends in software at present...SaaS describes a software application delivery method, whereby an application is hosted, supported and maintained by an application provider and accessed remotely by the customer when required."

Customer Control

It's your business data. You should be able to choose how you share it and synchronize it between the applications you like. With Etelos, your data is secure and accessible any time it is needed.

A company's most important asset is its data. Because data is shared between applications, data integrity is maintained and the applications you need are available when you need them. Etelos App Sync allows users to synchronize data between applications automatically. This ensures that the important data needed is always current, accurate and available.

Etelos enables businesses to host applications in whatever environment you choose, making sure your data is where you want it — you are not locked into your application vendor's way of doing business. Etelos also adheres to industry standards of privacy and security so that you can be confident your data is accessible from any application you chose, yet very unaccessible to the bad guys.
