Update is a secure web based application which provides a forum for the exchange of information
on specific topics with authorised counter-parties through a web
site. At the outset you define the framework for the topics to be reported on and what the
key events of interest are for each topic.
Once configured maintenance of both the content and allocation of
passwords to users is managed by yourself through a simple
administration site. Access
to each topic can be restricted to specific users.
The
purpose of Update is to allow an originator to report to any number
of users, about any number of topics and receive feedback from the
users. Providing a
secure web based forum removes the availability restriction of telephone calls, the costs of
long distance communications and the time involved with written
correspondence.
Update
is also a service. Information
provided on Update will almost certainly be confidential and
security is a key concern. In
addition availability, reliability and performance are core quality
issues for any web based service. Update is hosted on a powerful secure server protected by a
firewall and encryption. The server is located in our state of the art hosting centre
which has been constructed to meet the highest level of resilience.
