Fully Internet Enabled SfP World Service is a genuine client-server system. The server program handles all access to the database, applies all the security checks and performs any database-intensive operation and runs on a computer in a central location - preferably close to the SQL Server (most commonly, on the same PC as SQL Server). The client program handles the data-entry screen operations and validations and runs on the users' workstations. Communication between the client and the server is via TCP/IP and this means that World Service can operate on a single stand-alone computer or a local-area network or a wide-area network or an intranet or the Internet - or any combination of them. A distributed organisation genuinely can have data entered to the central database from anywhere in the world - HR data, Payroll data or anything else. Furthermore, Payroll processing can be initiated from any workstation (provided that the user of that workstation has the appropriate permissions) or from different workstations for different payrolls and any sub-set of payslips can be printed at any workstation. You can run separate payrolls for different parts of your organisation and still have only one database. Back |
