Lifting Your Photo ID Software into the Cloud
A growing number of our customers, or their IT departments, have taken an interest in “cloud-based” or “Software as a Service (SaaS)” Photo ID applications. That’s where the software developer supports the application “in the cloud” and their customers access it using a web browser or a basic, web-based app.
This approach means your data is always securely stored and backed up at a remote location. It lets you mitigate the risk of losing it if your local hard drive fails, or an intruder hacks into your computer.
Your software is always up to date, so you don’t have to spend time installing upgrades and restarting your hardware. You can also stop worrying about how many seats or client licenses to pay for. Authorized staff can access the software from any browser on any device. You no longer need a dedicated PC workstation to run your application.
Cloud-based Photo Id Software solutions also help you and your IT department plan and budget. Your software vendor charges you an annual subscription fee instead of a lump sum out of the blue for their latest upgrade. Most organizations find that cloud-based software solutions save them money.

All You Need to Get Started Is a Web Browser
SaaS also simplifies software installation because all you need to get started is your web browser. As your organization grows, it’s easy to scale up your software to accommodate multiple access points or locations. You also don’t have to concern yourself with device compatibility between Windows, Apple, or Android. If a machine can run a web browser, it can run the software.
So, it’s not surprising that our customers are curious about whether there are photo identification software vendors who do business this way. There certainly are, and the product we recommend is called IDpack in the Cloud.
