Have you ever wanted to access your EZ-CARE2 system from home, while on vacation, or at a remote site? What about centralizing data for multiple sites while allowing each site to access and work with their own data. Now you can without having to install and manage your own remote access infrastructure! We are now offering to host your EZ-CARE2 system on our secure servers and all you need is a broadband Internet connection.
With our subscription-based pricing model, you'll have a cost effective solution for using EZ-CARE2 in a web-based environment. If your needs change, you’ll still have use of the installed software (web-based systems can’t offer this!)

Commonly Asked Questions
What are the hardware requirements?
- Any PC running Windows
- Web browser (Internet Explorer recommended)
- Internet connection (Broadband strongly recommended)
Is my data secure?
In addition to the standard user/access security provided by EZ-CARE2, your data will be protected at our professionally managed hosting site. This includes automatic server backups, backup power, software/data secure partitioning, and facility security.
What will performance be like?
As with all computer technology, your performance will be influenced by a variety of factors including the speed of your computer, the amount of data, and the type of operation being performed.
Since you will be accessing the software via the Internet, the most critical factor affecting performance will be the speed of your Internet access. Performance should be reasonable for anyone with a broadband (DSL, Cable, Satellite, etc.) connection, but can vary depending on a variety of factors we can’t predict, including Internet congestion and number of users simultaneously accessing the server.
The good news is that all software functions are run on our server, so only keystrokes, mouse-clicks and screen changes need to be transmitted.
Can I do this only for remote users?
In order to have remote users working with the same data, you will need to be using the hosted system for all users.
Can I host EZ-CARE2 myself?
Yes, if your organization has a sufficient number of users and the technical resources to setup a server and remote access software (such as Citrix or Terminal Services) you can host EZ-CARE2 yourself. The advantage that our hosting service offers is that by using a shared hosting infrastructure, a cost-effective hosted version can be made available to centers with just a few users. In addition, all of the IT infrastructure and costs are included in the monthly fee.
How is this different from other web-based products?
There are two important differences:
- EZ-CARE2 is the same product whether it’s hosted or installed. If your needs change, you can still use the same product. This provides both greater future flexibility and improved ease-of-use through a richer set of user-interface tools. Web-based products are only available as hosted online solutions, and do not offer these benefits.
- You get all the benefits of EZ-CARE2’s unmatched flexibility and proven features, as well as the confidence that comes from our having served the chidcare industry for over 25 years.
