Typically dealerships have used a local server or a personal computer to store, manage, and process data in their Dealer Management Software (DMS). More and more dealerships are now considering the Cloud, which refers to using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet. So for a dealership, rather than having a server onsite, the data and all related files are stored, managed and accessed from a remote location.
Cloud computing allows dealers to focus on what’s important. All dealership staff run F2 over the internet, without the need for buying, installing and maintaining on-site servers. For dealerships the advantages and savings can be huge as software users only need a computer and an internet connection. The F2 Dealership Software, your database, and the servers all reside outside of the dealership in F2 CLOUD and are all managed by COMSOL.
