There is much ado about security and information technology these days. As many businesses consider moving data to the cloud, thereby eliminating the need for expensive hardware and costly IT staff, the resonating question is always is our data safe and secure in the cloud?
And truthfully, the answer to that question is not always what one hopes to hear. Choosing a software provider cautiously and carefully is paramount for a company seeking absolute data security. And not all providers are created equal.
The revolutionary ERP software of xTuple shines particularly brightly in this capacity, with its time-proven safety in the cloud as well as its unique open source status.
What is open source software and how does it contribute to security in the cloud? Open source software has been created collaboratively by programmers around the world, and its code is both visible and malleable. Many argue that security is actually better with open source software than with traditional programs. The repetitive and critical peer review inherent to open source reveals its potential vulnerabilities before security is risked. Problems are identified, fixed, and the software is made more secure — all before any of your information could be compromised. Furthermore, xTuple has been operating safely in the cloud since its inception.
Contact Friendly Systems when you would like to talk more about your security concerns and business management software in the cloud. We look forward to sharing the open source safety of xTuple solutions with you.
