Iolite Hosting Platform
Benefits of a Unified Platform
Our keystone product is our Iolite hosting platform. A hosting platform is software that runs and manages other software, which we call apps. By running all the apps your organization needs on one platform, you get the benefits of:
- Simplified user management with Single Sign-On. Create users once, and they'll have access to all of your apps through a single account. Delete a user, and know that they are really locked out.
- A single point-of-contact for all of your software needs. We can help you find the right software solution across a variety of domains, and help you integrate new software with software you are already using.
- A simple security model. Don't worry about the latest group of SaaS companies that got breached last month. Once you learn and come to trust our security approach, you can have the peace of mind knowing that all of your data is protected by the same safeguards.
Finally, a Platform focused on Ownership
Our platform is designed from the ground up to give you more control; there are no arbitrary limitations that lock you in under the guise of protecting you from yourself (though our daily backups will make sure you can always recover from accidents).
One of the primary ways we are building ownership into our platform is with flexible hosting options. You can use one of our servers in Chattanooga, TN, or we can help you get set up with your own server in your home or place of business (referred to as self-hosting). In the future, we plan to work with local businesses all over the country to setup community hosting options for those who aren't ready to self-host but want their data stored within driving distance. And here's the best part: our platform gives you the freedom to change hosting providers effortlessly at any point. If you start on our servers, you can easily move all your apps and data to your own server next year when you have the budget for it. Learn more about our hosting options here.
