Discover the Benefits of Online (web-based) Software     In the Spotlight
The Internet has changed the face of content development and distribution forever, and for the better!

PDS is excited and proud to offer our customers 44 web-based modules for nursing education. Here are just some of the many advantages of online delivery:

Immediate availability: Our web-based applications do not require physical installation or configuration. Your organization no longer needs to have IT personnel maintaining local area networks around the clock.

Easy and continuous access: After a brief self-enrollment, your users are ready to go, with "around the clock" access from anywhere in the world! Local disk crashes, viruses, and system instability on user machines have no effect on the availability of our web-based titles. If a user machine fails, our web-based titles can be launched from any other working machine with a browser.

Less memory requirements: Our web-based applications create far less demand on end-user RAM memory than locally-installed programs. By residing and running on our dedicated server, our web-based applications use, in most cases, the memory of our own computer.

Fewer bugs: Our web-based applications are far less prone to bugs and crashing than non-web applications. The reason is simple: once a web application is released, the user machine only needs one application to run properly - the web browser. Very few users ever experience technical problems running our web-based applications. In rare cases when there is a bug with a web-based application the problem usually is easily observed, and once corrected, the updated application can automatically be made available to you and your users.

No issues with concurrent users: Our web-based applications easily support access by multiple users at the same time. The network bottlenecks sometimes experienced in a local area network environment are avoided.

Data is safer: The technical infrastructure behind our web-based dedicated server ensures quick and nearly bulletproof recovery of user data (use and results) if a catastrophic event occurs. Local disk crashes, viruses, or system instability have no effect on web-based data integrity.

Tracking and reporting: Real-time reporting across your entire user base opens the door to administrator evaluation anytime, anywhere.

Automatic CE credit: Most titles can be used by nurses as continuing education to receive CE credit. After a nurse user has met criteria to receive CE credit, a CE certificate is immediately e-mailed. CE credit is covered in the annual license fee.

Automatic updates: For most titles, no administrator action is required to have the most current content available to users. For all web-based PDS titles, updates are covered in the annual license fee.

Try before you buy: With our web-based applications, we can offer immediate full-version previews. Within minutes, and with no financial expectation, you can be enjoying a live demo.
