01 What does no-code mean?

Ready-to-run no-code software comes with standardized and preconfigured modules, allowing you to get to work right away. Instead of being programmed, applications are configured using a graphical user interface. Thanks to its simplicity, the setup can be performed by departments without any particular IT expertise.

02 What does SaaS stand for?

In order to run traditional on-premises software, companies need to provide and maintain dedicated server infrastructure – a resource-intensive process. In comparison, a “Software as a Service” (SaaS) application is hosted on the servers of a cloud provider, eliminating these expenses. In addition, efforts for maintenance and technical administration are reduced, as updates, upgrades, and patches are installed automatically. Regular security backups ensure that crucial data is always available and protected.

03 How secure is sensitive data in the cloud?

CIM Database Cloud meets high security standards to ensure the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of your data in the cloud. We designed the architecture of our SaaS solution in accordance with the Zero Trust principle, which means that every access to your SaaS cloud instances is authenticated and logged. At the application level, measures such as single sign-on via CONTACT ID ensure security. Your data is hosted on Amazon Cloud Services (AWS) servers in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, which comply with GDPR regulations and are certified according to established standards such as ISO and CSA-STAR.

04 How does CONTACT ensure the availability of my data?

We run our SaaS installations on reliable and highly available infrastructure components. These are hosted in an AWS region consisting of multiple data centers (Availability Zones or AZ). In the event of an AZ failure, all services are transferred to another zone, which guarantees high data availability. During operation, we monitor the state, utilization, and performance of the applications and troubleshoot problems related to server instances and infrastructure. We perform multiple backups each day so that we can restore your data immediately ifnecessary.
