We have been spending a great deal of our time this summer selling and supporting our new ProofPass.com servers. The increased interest in our server technology has promoted us to think about how the servers are being utilized, and why they are being purchased. We believe one answer is enterprise color.
Enterprise color involves setting up gold standard or baseline colors based upon industry standards, but tweaked and tuned specifically for the needs of the organization. This tuning of the colors is not typically an inexpensive practice and as such is not something the enterprise wants to risk losing control of.
Enterprise color involves multiple geographic locations and/or large facilities with measurement occurring in far flung locations. Centralization of all the measurement results on a server accessible from almost any web enabled device is critical for enterprise color. Imagine a manager being able to review problem color results from a web enabled phone half way around the world. This can and has been done by ProofPass.com server customers.
Companies that practice enterprise color view it as a strategic advantage which they wish to protect. Most companies large enough to practice enterprise color have very tight firewall polices between the enterprise and the rest of the world. ProofPass.com addresses these concerns by; bringing the server inside the firewall; operating over standard web browsing ports 80 and 443; and operating on one of several secure server technology platforms.
It is our opinion that enterprise color can not be accomplished with legacy software applications utilizing proprietary databases modified to communicate through proprietary ports to proprietary servers. The ProofPass.com solution was designed from the ground up to be an internet based solution utilizing an open database.
