Architecture

CorporateDB is built on a client/server-based architecture for centrally storing, managing and controlling access to data.  Information is stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database.

The server can be accessed within a corporate network or may be configured to allow access through the internet if desired.

CorporateDB leverages SQL Server’s security infrastructure and includes support for user-based login or using Windows Authentication.   Based on the roles that a specific user belongs to, the client controls access to the functionality available to them.
