Technical data
Staffing agencies decide on their IT by the size of the business: one workstation, one office, one server, several branches. This page is structured exactly that way — for each scenario, a typical classic desktop installation compared with EagleDesk.
Comparison values: illustrative, generalised information on classic desktop installations — no connection to other vendors.
Scenario
Founders, sole traders, small branch offices
| Aspect | Classic desktop installation | EagleDesk |
|---|---|---|
| Workstation | Windows PC; minimum hardware depends on the software | Any device with a current browser — Windows, macOS, Linux, tablet |
| Database | Local SQL database on the same PC — raises the need for processing power and memory | Operated in an EU data centre, nothing to install |
| Interface & licences | Office/database licences, to be procured by the customer | Browser interface, no Office licence needed |
| Screen | Often a fixed minimum resolution for desktop screens | Responsive from smartphone to large display |
| Backups | not specified | Daily, integrity-checked, keys stored separately |
Scenario
Typical agency with dispatch and accounting
| Aspect | Classic desktop installation | EagleDesk |
|---|---|---|
| Workstations | Windows PC per seat; one computer often also carries the database | All seats equal in the browser — no PC has to “play server” |
| Database | SQL database on the office network | Operated centrally, tenant data field-encrypted |
| Interface & licences | Office/database licences on every workstation | No Office licences, users managed through roles |
| Printing | Printer set-up per workstation (drivers, paper trays) | PDF output with stored branding — prints on any printer |
| Maintenance & updates | not specified | Automatic, without installation on the workstations |
Scenario
Growing businesses with their own IT support
| Aspect | Classic desktop installation | EagleDesk |
|---|---|---|
| Server | Own Windows server, sized by the number of users | No server on the customer side — operated by the provider in the EU |
| Database | SQL database, a licensed full version depending on size | Included, with backup and monitoring |
| Interface & licences | Office/database licences per workstation | Browser; no licence per workstation — billing is by active workers |
| Permissions | not specified | Roles, individual permissions and data access per user |
| Security | not specified | Field-level encryption, 2FA, audit log, enforced HTTPS |
Scenario
Branch networks, home office, dispatch on the road
| Aspect | Classic desktop installation | EagleDesk |
|---|---|---|
| Remote access | Usually via Remote Desktop to the central server | Directly in the browser, encrypted via HTTPS — no VPN, no Remote Desktop |
| Mobile use | not specified | Tablet and smartphone; Employee Web App and customer portal on the home screen |
| Locations | Branches often on a shared terminal server | Locations and cost centres per branch with a location filter; data access per user |
| Operation & backups | Central server in your own office — operation and backups are your responsibility | No server in the office: operated in a data centre with daily backups and health check; external mirroring of the backups is being prepared |
Illustrative, generalised information on classic desktop installations; no connection to other vendors. Actual requirements depend on the specific software. “not specified” means there is usually no requirement for this — the responsibility lies with the customer.
