For Individuals Perpetual Desktop License or Annual Desktop Subscription License
- Users: Limited to 1 single user access
- Data / Storage: Locally within same device (laptop/PC)
- Performance: N/A – Runs locally on single machine
- Control / Management: Full Control, stored locally on users PC. Loss of data is high risk because no automated back-ups so loss of device means loss of data. Manual exports to external device is recommended to be completed on a regular basis.

- Implementation: Fast & straight forward single wizard installation. Admin rights on machine are required for installation.
EPC Cloud (SAAS)
For Teams Monthly User Subscription License

- Data / Storage: External Data Storage. Public Cloud Computing (shared) or Private Cloud Computing (secluded).
- Performance: Latency between server / office broadband round-trip time + corporate proxy data monitoring.

- Integration More complex. EPC Cloud Supports Active Directory Cloud standard SAML 2.0 for user synchronization and Single Sign-On but all integration is easier when servers are on same network.
- Implementation: Fast – Platform is already provisioned, set up and tested by Interfacing and Interfacing Partner. Client needs to trust all communication between users and externally hosted cloud server domain. eg. https://customer.interfacing.com.
