Delivery Options
Several delivery options are available for EMPOWER, allowing each school to choose the one that best meets its technology plan and financial requirements.
Cloud
The cloud delivery option provides unfettered access to all of the features of EMPOWER with minimal ongoing costs. With the cloud option, your institution benefits from the cost and staff savings associated with not supporting a datacenter for your student information system.
- Eliminates initial and ongoing expenses such as operating system license fees, hardware, networking, security and technical support
- Includes all technical tasks –updates, backups, hardware maintenance and more
- Allows IT staff to support students, faculty, and staff rather than spend time on vendor software
- Provides secure 24/7 online and remote access to EMPOWER database
License
With the self-hosted licensing option, an institution has the technical ability to host a sophisticated application and is able to be self-sustaining in the hardware and network arena. The institution manages its own computer environment, security, back-ups, updates, and so forth.
