Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy for a number of reasons. Well, it sounds simple but making it happen wasn’t so easy… The Challenge of Creating Daylite CloudĬonsidering we have a component like Daylite Server, to begin with, you’d think it would be easy to just stick it in the cloud and offer it as a service. With Daylite along with our new cloud service, all you need to do is download the app, create an account, and log in. Works quickly! The magic just happens in the background.” “All of my data and work is available when I need it. Basically, a whole lot of trouble just disappeared.” No more concerns with power cuts, server upgrades, fixed IP, or low upload bandwidth.

At first, I didn’t see the necessity to switch to a Cloud service as my previous Self-Serve setup was very satisfactory. “Being a very satisfied Daylite customer since 2007, I value stability most of all for my company CRM. We’ve invited a few customers to test it out and here’s what some of them have to say… Now with Daylite Cloud, you don’t need to set up or manage a server because we handle it all for you. But for others, it’s not ideal because while you like being able to use a native Mac app, you don’t have the infrastructure or don’t want to deal with the technical/networking hassle. For some customers, this is perfect and exactly what they want (and will still be able to with Daylite 6 Self-Serve). It stores the central copy of your data, manages licensing, backups, and syncing.īefore today, setting up and managing Daylite Server on one of your own computers was required. Daylite Server is the “hub” that coordinates all the moving info between Macs, iPhones, iPads, and third-party apps like Apple Calendar and Contacts.
