At first glance, Caspio Bridge may seem like any other desktop database application. However, there is a crucial difference: the data is not stored on your computer's hard drive, but over the Internet on Caspio's servers. This presents benefits not available with a desktop database:
Location Independent – Your data is
available wherever you have access to the Internet. This
is similar to the way a web-based email system gives you the freedom to
access your email from anywhere. You
can work with your tables and data from your office computer in the morning
and from your home computer in the evening. You
can be on the other side of town or the other side of the world and have
the same access to your data.
Safety and Security – Your database
is protected using the best methods and practices of the industry. All
data is backed up daily and redundant servers are on standby in case of
hardware failure. Industry-standard
security practices and firewalls keep intruders away, and an optional
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) can encrypt all your communication with the
server.
Ease of Sharing and Collaboration –
With Caspio Bridge, you can share data with as many people as you want,
regardless of their physical location. Caspio
Bridge is a multi-user system, so several people can work within one account,
all at the same time. You
no longer need to email database files or spreadsheets back and forth.
Scalability – A typical desktop database
is designed for one person to use. While
Caspio Bridge may look like a desktop application, it is the front end
to a powerful server-based database platform. This
way, it can meet your company's needs, regardless of its size. This
means that your data can grow exponentially without the restrictive limits
of a desktop computer's memory, storage, and processing power.
Simple Integration with your Web Sites – Data is not very useful if it cannot be easily accessed online. Caspio Bridge DataPage Wizards help you create custom forms, reports, and complete end-to-end applications without having to learn or use a programming language. The DataPages are bound to your database and the data it holds, and can be easily placed on your own web site.
