Intranet Package: Install or Host AceProject on your Intranet

The Intranet Package - Total Control and Flexibility

While some organizations prefer using our ready-to-use Hosted packages, other organizations prefer installing our Intranet package on their web server. Unlike Hosted packages, you pay for a license instead of a subscription. Hence, there is no monthly cost involved. Thanks to the annual maintenance plan, you make sure you are running the latest AceProject version available. If you already use in-house applications, AceProject's application programming interface (API) lets you connect your Intranet package to these applications, among other possibilities.

The Intranet Package lets you:

yes

Purchase a license instead of paying monthly or annually for using the service

While Hosted packages, like most web-based project management software on the Web, require a monthly fee for a subscription, the Intranet Package is licensed. Therefore, it requires a license for a given number of active users to be purchased (one-time fee) plus a recurring annual maintenance plan, in order to keep the software up-to-date.

yes

Control security

For certain organizations, it is not conceivable to store confidential or sensitive data on the Internet. They feel the risk of having this data stolen is too high. Therefore, they prefer having AceProject installed on their intranet. Thus, they can ensure maximum security for their data. For maximum security, we recommend you install an SSL 128-bit certificate on your server, which will encrypt your data with the HTTPS protocol.

yes

Control accessibility

Having AceProject installed on your intranet frees your mind of bad consequences Internet downtime would have on your projects. Thus, if your Internet connectivity goes down, you would still be able to use AceProject, since your local area network connection will take over from it.

yes

Self-customize the application

Having our project management software installed locally lets you adapt it to your specific corporate needs, especially if you need to integrate it with in-house applications. This way, development costs are substantially lowered; the application is already developed, all that is left to do is installation and customization. Your internal IT department can self-perform the modifications you need. You must be aware that all modifications performed by your team are at your own risk and are not supported on our end. You must be aware that all modifications made to your package, as well as the way your plan to use AceProject, must comply with our license agreement.

Since most of AceProject's programming logic is stored in our application programming interface (API), self-customization is limited to a certain extent. The API shipped with the Intranet Package is encrypted and cannot be modified whatsoever.
