Is my data secure?
QBIS software supports 128-bit encryption and a role-based security model.

Sensitive data is encrypted to prevent outside tampering.
Highest quality hardware and support: The servers hosted at us are professionally managed in our data centre by trained network professionals. Cutting-edge Hewlett Packard servers provide 100% fault-tolerance.
Fault-tolerant backups: Your data is synchronised on hot back-up servers every one hour and copied to secure off-site servers every 24 hours. Back-up tapes are stored at a remote location.
Role-based access permissions: When setting up a new employee/resource, the system administrator has complete control of each person’s access. Using a role-based security model, he/she can set privileges specific to each person based on what they should have access to, allowing them access to only the information and documentation they need for doing their work.
Controlled system access: Every user is required to have his or her own user name and password to access the software.

Improved team collaboration: QBIS can help your employees work together more efficiently.
We have existing business systems. Can QBIS be linked to existing systems?
QBIS can be connected directly to existing Accounting or Invoicing systems, enhancing their functionality and improving your information flow. Communication between systems: Your external applications (such as Salary or Invoicing systems) can be connected to QBIS therefore removing unnecessary redundancy between different business processes.
Easy data export and import: Information can be quickly imported to or exported from QBIS.
Will there be much training required?
QBIS’s intuitive system requires minimal training, even for power users, so you’re productive almost immediately. Intuitive Windows-based application: QBIS follows standard Windows conventions, so it is easy to pick up and learn.
Build on internal knowledge: If your resources are familiar with other business systems then they will pick up QBIS without requiring any training.
Rely on built-in resources: Online help database allows your users to look up topics and get the answers they need.
Is it possible to create custom reports?
QBIS is today full of reports that can be filtered and sorted in several different ways. If a report that would fulfil your needs doesn’t exist, the easiest solution is to use QBIS XML Services and create your own report in a suitable tool (Access, Crystal Reports, or similar). If you want a customized report, we can solve that after a dialogue about your wishes and specifications.
Is it easy to enter own comments at each time reporting?
QBIS is a very user-friendly tool in which you easily can fill in internal as well as external comments for each reported activity. They are then in a simple manner brought along to the various reports QBIS provides for billing, project monitoring etc.
Is there a vacation planning tool for the whole company?
In addition to being a competent tool for employees to easily apply for leave, QBIS also fully supports the salary department’s wishes for easy vacation planning. QBIS also has a unique resource managing section where the availability of all employees is easily visible. You can see what the company's bookings are, as well as what projects/activities/vacations etc. each employee is booked on.
Can my project members actively influence the success of the project, deadline, status, etc.?
Within the Project module QBIS has a unique tool for project members to report the status of a project, request more time or even ask for a new end date for an activity. This is done in the "Personal Planner" in QBIS Project, and together with the time reporting for different activities and associated comments, QBIS is a complete tool for project members to influence the success of assigned projects.
What different options does QBIS support when you want to charge a project?
When using QBIS as a project tool, you can, among other things, set the whole project as chargeable or alternatively only certain activities. One can easily have different prices for different activities in the same project; this also applies to project members and activity members. The simplest form that QBIS Project supports is of course to set a fixed price for the whole project or a fixed price for certain activities.
