UltraPoS Deployment Options
UltraPoS was designed with maximum flexibility as a pre-requisite. This applies to all aspects of the system, from the fine-tuning of configuration options to the deployment options available.
Customers can & do deploy UltraPoS in the manner most suited to their IT infrastructure and policies with the following being typical scenarios:
- 'Traditional' Client/Server - Under this option the client components of UltraPoS are installed on one or more PCs in each branch, which communicate sales & other data to server-based elements of the system at head office.
- Intranet deployment - In response to customer requests and technological advances, SCL have developed a 'thin-client', browser-based deployment of UltraPoS, with which ALL of the business logic etc. is resident on the head office server(s).
- Hosted ASP (Application Service Provision) deployment - This is essentially an fully managed service, similar to the Intranet deployment, but with UltraPoS being deployed on SCL's secure, high performance server/communications environment.
For more detailed information about these options please see the section titled Three Variants in the UltraPoS menu.
