Hosted on Your Network
PDExpress is a locally-hosted application that runs on your network. This has several advantages:
  • Program and participant information is retained inside your network minimizing security risks.
  • You control the server and have the ability to manage the hardware and software as your needs require.
  • Performance is increased because you access the application on your local network without spanning the public Internet.
