Realty Redefined is on the Cloud !!!

Recently we successfully migrated all our servers and infrastructure from individual hosting providers to the "Cloud". Our 2 month long efforts finally culminated in both Realty Redefined Consultants edition and Developers edition being moved to the "Amazon Cloud". We thought we will share some advantages and benefits that our end clients will enjoy because of this move to the cloud. From the perspective of a technologist, moving to the cloud has a lot of significance. It has even more significance for businesses when they start accessing their business productivity and management applications on the cloud. Some of the more important advantages of being on the cloud are enumerated below.

  1. Pay for what you Use: From the business perspective, one of the biggest advantages of accessing Realty Redefined on the cloud is that you end up paying only for what you need. While this is true, you also get to scale according to your needs. This means that adding new users to your Realty Redefined account is child's play, and your new user will be able to start using the application within a matter of minutes. Realty Redefined on the cloud also means that you are in the driving seat, because of the yearly subscription model, you get to pay only as long as you think we are adding value to your business. This helps companies avoid return on investment (ROI) risk and uncertainty. Should you feel that the service does not work for you then you can easily cancel the subscription.

  2. Version Upgrades: Realty Redefined is continuously on the move. What this means is that we are always thinking of new features and IT enabled services that will help our clients improve their profitability and manage their businesses more efficiently. Because of this we are constantly providing new features in Realty Redefined. If you are on the cloud, you get to avail these features in the most seamless and clean manner. Without disrupting your normal business activities you will be able to upgrade your Realty Redefined accounts to use the latest offerings from us.

  3. Multiple Websites: Besides all of the above the biggest advantage of using Realty Redefined on the Cloud, is the ability to be able to add as many websites as you like on top of your Realty Redefined online account. This aspect has huge bearings on how you market your inventory online. You can keep a single database of your property & project inventory, and keep on adding websites on different but relevant domains. All these websites will source their data from your account on the cloud. This provides tremendous flexibility and cost effectiveness. 

  4. Cost Effective: With no cloud computing, a business will need to generally have at least some basic computer server, from which all employees access the installation of Realty Redefined. Usage of Cloud Computing allows an organization to keep the Realty Redefined installations off-site. This may bring down the cost per employee, in that access through a Cloud will generally be more cost effective than purchase of an in-house server computer. 

  5. Advantages Galore: What our end clients are actually doing when they access Realty Redefined on the cloud is simply "using common software and functionality by means of accessing a business application which exists on a remote server via the Internet". Hence simply put the Internet is the "cloud" of applications and services that are available to be used by valid subscribers. Because of this infrastructure organizations using Realty Redefined will see improved productivity because they will end up preventing.

    1. Financial Waste, since there is no need to invest in a lot of hardware in terms of computing resources.

    2. Better track Employee Activities.

    3. Avoid other headaches of using computers viz. viruses, hard disk's getting corrupted, system crashes & one of the hundreds of reasons because of which you will face "data loss".
Besides the above mentioned points, Realty Redefined on the cloud also means that there will be improvements in. Security, Speed & Availability. There is no denying the present and future of Cloud Computing. And we are confident that when applied to the Real Estate industry, it leads to a Win - Win situation for all our clients. Cloud Computing will not only remain a staple in modern business, but will likely streamline organizational operations in many new ways, as well as expanding upon its current uses.
