PCS Hosted Services FAQs
| What is PCS hosted? American Innovations provides a Microsoft Azure-based and SSAE18 SOC2 Compliant cloud environment in which we manage Clients’ PCS application and database. Clients can rely on AI to host, manage, and secure their PCS solutions, therefore, eliminating the need for infrastructure CAPEX and the burden on their internal IT teams to manage the on-prem PCS deployments. What about my existing PCS licenses? The great thing about the PCS Hosted service is that Clients can continue to enjoy the licensing structure they have today. As this service is offered as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), which allows existing PCS license holders the benefit of an expanding ecosystem of integrated products and services. If a client does not currently have a PCS license, then AI does provide an option to include a PCS subscription license along with their Hosted service. How are database backups managed? AI provides backup and restore data capabilities for its Hosted services clients which enable easy recovery from bad data uploads or modifications.
