In the Hosted solution, RobotBooker hosts the booking system on our own web server and you access the system just as you would browse the internet.
The system is still yours only - you decide who is allowed to use the system. You administer the site yourself, the site can be customised with your logo and you can decide how your resources are displayed.
To provide security, users need to log into the system using a username and password.
The main advantages of the hosted solution is that you do not need anything other than an Internet connection and web browser. You don't have to worry about servers, installation of software, updates or patches.
This amounts to a low cost system that is ready to use within hours and is available virtually anywhere in the world on a 24x7 basis.
Hosting is a great solution for organisations that do not have their own IT support staff or web servers, or you just don't want the hassle. We look after the system.
If your organisation does not allow external Internet use or your data is very sensitive you should consider the purchase option for you own internal web server.
