We UnderstandYour Industry Has Unique Needs

MIE Solutions (wwwmie-solutionscom) announced cloud-based managed services for their MIE Trak Pro ERP offering in February 2016 There are a number of areas that set our MIE Trak Pro cloud-based offering apart from others in the industry A couple major differences are 1) Overall Cost of Ownership ndash Many cloud-based providers own their software and charge a monthly subscription fee for you to access it and your data on their server

Our MIE Trak Pro cloud-based offering is different in that YOU own the software and licensing Whether or not you continue to host MIE Trak Pro on our cloud-based managed service your data and our MIE Trak Pro software is yours you own it and because you own it an accelerated depreciation allowance of up to $500000 can be taken in the first year

2) Dedicated vs Multi-Tenant Data-bases ndash Many cloud-based offerings are multi-tenant which means your data is hosted on server farms along with other

companyrsquos data and the software provider dictates when software and features are updated

Our MIE Trak Pro cloud-based offering is different in that your data is stored on a dedicated server not stored with others and through our managed services you have control of software and feature updates

In addition MIE Solutions makes your database available via automated backup when you need it and as frequently as you want it
