By adopting the advantages of new technologies, companies can develop key factors that generate value for their customers.

One of the most useful new features is the Control Panel, which shows the real-time status of the most critical system processes, generating statistics and giving the user the ability to execute appropriate procedures. It also clearly identifies license expiration dates, and configuring and receiving quick notifications that allow you to make more accurate timely decisions.

In addition to the above mentioned improvements, by incorporating the data archiving feature, companies can place outdated information in cold storage, saving storage space, time, and money by reducing the costs of acquiring new resources. This feature also provides the ability to keep your data safe, and access to your data when needed.
