Do you know how many people use SmartSimple? We were pleasantly surprised too…

By -
SmartSimple is used to address specific business needs in several verticals, but at a high level it has always been used by our customers to engage with their community. This may refer to  insurance carriers engaging with medical examiners around motor vehicle accidents or grant making organizations engaging with their applicants and reviewers around funding for research or community programs.

Over the years we have always been interested in how many people actively use SmartSimple worldwide, but this was more curiosity than a business need. As interest in adopting SmartSimple’s technology grows the need to calculate total active users has begun to present its self.

So how many users are there?

We were thinking that 100,000 users was a fair guess…but when we ran the numbers we ended up with 409,747 as of April 20th 2011!  Who knew?”

And what does this mean?

Well, it means that around decade after being born out of a  U of T incubator, SmartSimple is a stable and sustainable business with an extremely versatile SaaS platform.  In fact we are constantly in awe in how our clients embrace the platform’s flexibility to interact with their suppliers, clients, community members in so many different ways.

Of course the vast majority of SmartSimple users are not actually logging into SmartSimple.com but rather a fully configured and branded client copy of the platform specifically configured to their needs…so there’s a chance you’ve used SmartSimple without even knowing it.

While this offers amazing flexibility and accessibility advantages, everything you use in the cloud still needs to be physically stored somewhere, and that’s the role a server plays in your system. There are two types of servers you can use; a dedicated server or a non-dedicated server. Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa What’s the Difference? A non-dedicated server means your server is “hosted” in a shared environment with other, separate organizations.   A dedicated server is your organization’s own server and only contains your data. Why would my organization choose one option over the other? The answer to this question really depends on the classification level of your data, the governance rules of your organization and your country’s data sovereignty laws. That’s really not as complicated as it sounds. Data classification is all about how sensitive your data is and, therefore,
