FAQ

AdvantageCS has been developing developing software for publishers, membership organizations, and service companies since 1979.

Yes. AdvantageCS will host your system in the cloud (located in Europe for European clients) and provide services such as backup scheduling and integrity checks, disk space management, database administration tasks, and a menu of other services. Alternatively, you can license the system for on-premise use on your servers.

WHAT ARE MANAGED SERVICES?

Managed Services can include any or all of the following: management of the Advantage application processing and reporting, Advantage system performance monitoring, user administration, Web services administration, interfaces and uploads management, application configuration management, 3rd party software monitoring and updates, Advantage upgrades/updates.

Not at all. Advantage clients include small publishers, too. They choose Advantage because they have more sophisticated needs in areas such as marketing, flexible pricing models, packages, analysis, or integrations that cannot be met with more basic systems. See list of clients here.

Yes. AdvantageCS works with our clients in ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that has been enacted by the European Union.  This regulation covers the protection of personal data for EU citizens and how it is to be handled by Data Controllers.  We’ve worked with many of our clients to leverage the Advantage software to ensure their compliance with the regulation, as well as ensuring that AdvantageCS services are provided in full compliance.

Advantage is priced by the number of concurrent user sessions (minimum of 10, no maximum), as well as the optional modules you might require. Another factor is whether you choose to license the software or pay monthly for use (SaaS). We can give you an estimated cost if you answer a few basic questions about the size of the business that will run on Advantage and your specific requirements. Contact us for more information.
