Proven Technology
Our n-tiered architecture enables deployment either SaaS or On-Premise, and allows you to chose
from the most widely used data base management systems – Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle,
or MySQL. Robust technology with more than 20 years of successful implementations, utilizes
Windows, Linux and Unix application servers.
Fiscal Controls
The adopted budget may be used to control spending at department, account, and cost center
levels in any combination. By including projects and programs with the appropriate funding
source(s), you can match revenue and expenses for reporting to constituents, grantors, and
donors.
Integration
It’s a fact of life that every application will be interfaced with internal or external software
applications. 4gov was written to be interfaced with other applications. Interfaces are through
web-services (simple and complex) and exports/imports as required.
Rapid Implementation
4gov implementations are 50% faster than traditional software. The applications are configured by
simple table changes. Training begins immediately by using your data on our Web training site.
Education for your staff is an efficient combination of live instructor “Web-based Training” and
on-site assistance.
Pick the applications based on your requirements, then select the processing model that best fits
your organization.
• In-House Model, where 4gov resides on your internal private network, with your IT staff
managing the system.
• SaaS Hosted Model, where 4gov provides and manages the servers, software, and your data
at our secure 4gov/IBM hosting center, and your users sign-on to the Internet for access
from anywhere at any time under your control. Disaster/recovery scenarios are planned and
implemented.
4gov is scalable from one to an unlimited number of users, and new applications can be quickly
added..
Use the latest web browser technology so that there is no software on the Desktop to purchase,
maintain, and upgrade (Zero Footprint). This means less money and less time to keep current.
Plus, learning is easy since 4gov has that intuitive Internet look and feel.
