Faster Authoring – Create content 23% faster than using MS Word. 

Reduced Costs – Eliminates the installation, maintenance and upgrading of desktop software. Research shows that ‘cloud computing’ reduces cost of ownership by as much as 65%.

Improved Security – Software remains on the Server, ensuring everyone has access to the same centralized information. Backups are performed at the server level rather than backing up individual desktops. XML data remains within the R4i CSDB, ensuring version control of files as checked-in and out for use in R4i WorkBench. 

Simplified Control – Deploying enterprise solutions requires systems administrators to physically distribute applications to every client plus manage version control. R4i WorkBench simplifies and enhances application management by enabling deployment, administration and support from a single point.
