No, once data has been submitted there is no way to tamper with or alter entries. Even authorized administrators cannot change or alter your data once it is in the "data safe."
Yes, you can add fields after a solution has been deployed. We offer a limited number of changes before we begin charging editing fees. Deleting fields, however, will result in the loss of the entire record; so deleting fields is highly discouraged. (But, only your authorized administrators will have the capacity to do this -- it is purposely limited to avoid inadvertent errors and omissions.)
If the PDA or smart phone has a Web browser it is possible to submit data into our system. If the device does not have a browser then no. We have decided not to follow the limited PDA path -- the added cost and narrow capabilities of a PDA are not compatible with future vision in the industry. We strongly believe, as others in the IT industry, that the tablet pc and other smart browser-based devices will be the future for mobile computing.
No. There is no costly hardware to buy or install. All you need is a web-enabled computer with a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. For companies that limit internet access, your IT department would simply allow access to a unique URL on our Saferating site.
One of the powerful features of Paperless Form Technology™ is that we can instantly email some (or all) of the data output automatically to a designated recipient. We format the email to your specifications and upon submission, the data elements are emailed to the party or parties you have identified. We are currently working towards fax capabilities so the output could be automatically faxed to a prescribed phone number.
We currently default to CSV format which is easily opened with Microsoft™ Excel, Microsoft™ Access, OpenOffice, FileMaker Pro, and other spreadsheet and database applications.
The data leaves your computer via a secure tunnel, using secure sockets layer (SSL is also used by online banking institutions), and is received at our servers and stored in our database. This data can be encrypted while at rest, if desired. Our database servers are not accessible via the Internet. Each day we perform automated backups and send the encrypted backups to our servers in multiple states over our national virtual private network (VPN).
Yes. Your data is stored off the Web, behind our professionally monitored firewalls. And, for added security, each day the data is automatically backed up and the encrypted backups are sent over our national virtual private network to servers in different states.
Saferating’s system engineers will maintain and perform all necessary upgrades, one less thing your IT department needs to worry about.
Yes, just be aware that dial-up speeds will vary with both location and the complexity of the solution we're providing for you. Be sure to indicate your need for fast load times over dial-up connections and we can work with you to ensure that your solution meets your performance needs.
