WHY SERVER-BASED?

• Input / reporting from anywhere
• Workers, managers, admins all synchronized
  immediately
• No special client-side software needed

SECURITY

• Written in Perl, a very secure, Unix-based
  language
• All data is encrypted for protection and privacy
  (note https// in address)

11
SECURITY

• Something different none of the pages in PT
  actually exist anywhere they are all generated
  dynamically from the database http//www.learncan
  ada.org/Stong/l25194V23321X17947E10917a7188A1480.h
  tml
• Dynamic generation makes it impossible to
  bookmark a page inside the program and then
  return later without a login

12
SECURITY

• Perl is an open standard, non proprietary
  language, so all your data exports easily to XML,
  SQL, MySQL, Excel, Access, Cold Fusion, or any
  other platform or program
• The database architecture easily allows for
  customized expansion in other fields, and in the
  kinds of reports that might be needed
