VIKTOR's New Regional Hosting Functionality: Scaling Engineering Apps Worldwide

The Advantages of Building Engineering Tools as Web Applications

Engineers are developing their own tools to automate workflows and exchange data. To provide everyone in their organization with these tools they are more and more building those tools in web-application because:

• Web apps are easy to distribute
• Web apps can be made user-friendly and easy to operate
• It protects their code
• Maintenance is easier (version control)
• One web app workflow can integrate with various software pieces.

Ensuring Compliance and Maximizing ROI in Tool Deployment

Organizations that are active on a global scale also want to make their tools available globally (in different regions) to achieve maximum return on investment of making them. However, each region had its own regulations regarding the processing and storage of data. For example, many governments require regional data storage to be able to maintain data sovereignty. Not complying with these regulations will lead to:

• Huge claims
• Damaged reputation
• Losing tenders

So where is the data stored?

VIKTOR's Solution for Secure Web App Development and Deployment

VIKTOR is experiencing rapid international growth, with customers around the world using our platform. Project data is sensitive, and regulations are strict, making it crucial for the data to be stored in the region where it is being used. To achieve global usage of web apps and comply with data sovereignty, VIKTOR has developed a solution that addresses these challenges.

The solution includes the following functionality:

• Synchronization of users: Users have a single login that allows them access to multiple regions, streamlining their experience.
• Synchronization of apps: Web apps can be used to their full potential in multiple regions without the need for extra work or customization.
• Regional hosting: Organizations now have the option to choose the specific region where their data is stored. VIKTOR currently supports Europe, UK, Australia, and the US, and expansion to other regions is available upon request.
• Multi-region hosting: For large multinational companies that operate worldwide, VIKTOR offers the capability to run the platform in multiple regions. Users and apps are synchronized across regions, while the project data is securely stored in a specified region, ensuring compliance with regional data regulations.

By combining these features, VIKTOR empowers organizations to develop and deploy web apps globally while adhering to data sovereignty requirements. This not only supports the user-friendly and efficient distribution of tools but also protects the organization's code, simplifies maintenance through version control, and enables seamless integration with various software pieces. Ultimately, VIKTOR's solution enables organizations to mitigate risks, avoid potential legal claims, safeguard their reputation, and increase their competitiveness in global tenders.

What is VIKTOR?

VIKTOR is an application development platform that enables people to rapidly build their own online applications with a Python Software Development Kit (SDK). The VIKTOR platform is a place where people can centralize and distribute data, models, and analyses to others such that it acts as a single point of truth. Additionally, you can use the platform to integrate with data sources and all relevant software packages. In combination with the ability to automate and use algorithms, such as Machine Learning, you are able to find the best solution fast. With a VIKTOR application, you can interpret data quickly and easily by means of understandable insights provided on an interactive and customizable dashboard, which enables you to turn your knowledge into an asset!
