SmartSimple September Upgrades

By Anonymous -

Fall is almost here, and that means it’s time for our upgrades for September, 2015. We have some new enhancements that improve overall usability, enhance previous reporting functionality, and update the Arcadia X user interface. We’ve also opened up a new beta testing opportunity.

This upgrade will take place on Thursday, September 17th, so let’s get you ready!

Automatic Upgrade                                
This feature is automatically applied with the September upgrade, meaning you don’t have to do anything to begin using it in your SmartSimple system:

Expanded Arcadia Colors and Styles
If you’re an Arcadia X interface user, the first difference you’ll see when you log in after this upgrade are new navigational colors. Don’t panic; this is part of the enhanced color and style functionality we’ve added to increase Arcadia X personalization options.

From the Configuration tab, under the Global Settings menu, permissioned staff will see a new Branding and Terminology tab at the top of their screen. From here they can manage their interface colors and styles, creating their own combinations for headings, titles and tool bars.

Configured Upgrades
Configured upgrade features require some assistance from either your System Administrator or the SmartSimple Support Team to set up and start using. Contact our Support Team or speak to your own IT team.
New Report Builder Neo in Arcadia X

New Report Builder Neo
The new report builder, entitled “Neo,” replaces our former version, and is not only easier to use but improves performance and run time for all reports. The new report builder offers a more intuitive interface, is more configurable and offers more options for your reporting needs.

New Company/User Security Matrix
This new security matrix offers the ability to designate permissions more easily for specific users. The enhanced matrix provides more precisely controlled security options for assigning permissions to edit, view and delete information.

Beta Feature
A beta features refers to a feature in the testing phase, meaning we’re giving it a test drive before making it a system-wide enhancement.

New Application Programming Interface (API)
For those who may not be familiar with the term, an API allows different programs to communicate with each other and is commonplace in cloud computing software like SmartSimple. We’re very excited to be introducing a new API and are looking for input from you!

If you’re interested in participating in the testing of the new API, please contact your SmartSimple Account Manager.

Dedicated vs. Non-Dedicated Servers – What’s best for me?

By Anonymous -

More and more business today is being done in the cloud. While this offers amazing flexibility and accessibility advantages, everything you use in the cloud still needs to be physically stored somewhere, and that’s the role a server plays in your system. There are two types of servers you can use; a dedicated server or a non-dedicated server. Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa What’s the Difference? A non-dedicated server means your server is “hosted” in a shared environment with other, separate organizations.   A dedicated server is your organization’s own server and only contains your data. Why would my organization choose one option over the other? The answer to this question really depends on the classification level of your data, the governance rules of your organization and your country’s data sovereignty laws. That’s really not as complicated as it sounds. Data classification is all about how sensitive your data is and, therefore,
