Rely on top-level data security and availability, thanks to certified Microsoft Azure data centers located within the EU.
Time cockpit uses the Microsoft Azure cloud to provide its services. It runs in certified data centers inside the European Union (Amsterdam and Dublin).
For all services that time cockpit relies on, Microsoft offers the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (also known as EU Model Clauses). The EU Model Clauses are used in agreements between Microsoft and us to ensure that any personal data leaving the European Economic Area (EEA) is transferred in compliance with the GDPR.
Our cloud strategy is based on the Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) model. This means that we do not rent virtual machines in the cloud and install our software on them. Instead, we use managed services provided by our cloud provider Microsoft. This allows us to focus on our core competencies, deliver a better product to our customers, and keep the costs for time cockpit low.
Time cockpit has been built from day one as a multi-tenant application. This means that multiple customers share underlying infrastructure. This is a huge advantage as it allows us to offer time cockpit at a very attractive price. However, shared infrastructure does not mean lack of flexibility. On the contrary, being highly customizable is a differentiating factor for time cockpit.
We have been using Azure since its very existence. Time cockpit was one of the first SaaS solutions on Azure. Our CEO Rainer Stropek was one of the first experts worldwide awarded with the title Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVP) for the Azure platform. Providing large scale SaaS solutions on Azure has been our core competency for more than a decade. This is what we do, this is what we are good at.
With time cockpit, we have already done the groundwork for you. Standard tasks such as input validation, user interface layout and styling, and object-relational mapping (ORM) for database interactions are seamlessly integrated. This allows us to focus entirely on customizing the platform to your specific needs, without reinventing the wheel or spending resources on time-consuming basic development.
Our platform is designed so that you can either make the customizations yourself or have us implement them for you. Whether you prefer to design it yourself or rely on our expertise, we offer flexible support tailored to your exact requirements.
Time cockpit has proven itself as a flexible and customizable solution in a variety of time tracking projects. Thanks to its flexibility, the platform also serves as a powerful foundation for non-time tracking-related projects.
