Platform
Stakeware's on-demand sustainability management solution stakeholder relationship management, sustainability reporting, corporate philanthropy and carbon accounting software is hosted on Salesforce.com's enterprise cloud-computing SaaS platform called Force.com, which is a proven, reliable, secure and fast platform.
The cloud infrastructure beneath Force.com has been fine-tuned over the past 10 years, and powers over 63,000 businesses and over 1.5+ million users daily. Cloud computing is a paradigm shift whereby details are abstracted from the users who no longer need knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them. Cloud computing services provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet. What this means to you, is you only have to pay a subscription to access the software using a web browser. You get a reliable, fast and secure platform without having to purchase any hardware or software.
Because Stakeware's on-demand software is hosted on this world-class cloud computing infrastructure, you get all the benefits from day one:
No hardware or software to install or maintain: Simply log-in with an Internet connection and you are ready to start.What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing services provide common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on scalable and often virtualized resources as a service over the Internet.
