DonorSnap is known as a Software as a Service (SaaS) organization.\u00a0 We host your data on our servers and maintain and manage the programs that interact and process your data. Generally, you are able to access DonorSnap from any computer that has a web browser and an internt connection.<\/p>\n
The DonorSnap computer does all of the managing and processing of your data. Therefore, the age, power and type of computer that you are using generally does not affect the performance or capability to process your data. DonorSnap simply passes a “page” or “screen” of information to your computer and then, once you’ve either made your selections or modified your data, you pass that “Page” back to DonorSnap’s computer. We do all of the analyzing, error checking and processing using our high end server. The real benefit to using Internet based software is that you\u00a0no longer need to worry about computer viruses, hardware crashes, data back up or corrupted data<\/strong>.

\nAlthough the computer you are using doesn’t much affect performance, the internet connection you employ will.\u00a0<\/strong>Since we are passing screen shots back and forth, the faster your internet, the quicker your screen of data will be displayed. Generally, the best performance is seen with cable or DSL lines. Older dial up lines will work, but passing full screens of data may entail slower update times. (Hint: If you are sharing an internet connection with others, make sure that they are not streaming music, videos, etc… while you are working.\u00a0 Streaming programs tend to monopolize your bandwidth and significantly slow down other internet traffic).<\/p>\nThe Benefit of Using SaaS<\/span><\/h2>\n
\nAll of those functions are eliminated by having the processing and backup being done using DonorSnap’s secured computer.<\/p>\n
